Winter is an excellent time to watch for America’s national symbol, soaring over head or perched majestically in the trees. Photographer Jake Ryan explains spotting this one on a quiet snowy day, “I was watching this eagle fish all day on Lake Coeur d’Alene in northern Idaho. It would swoop down and grab the Kokanee salmon and fly back up into the tree to eat. It landed on the perfect branch and after dropping the fish carcass, he was eyeing down his next catch.” How about you? Are you seeing our national bird out and about?  From November through February migrating bald eagles visit the Lake Coeur d’ Alene area to feed on the spawning salmon. The Bureau of Land Management runs a yearly count and documents their impressive numbers. How about you? Have you spotted any bald eagles recently? Photo courtesy of Jake Ryan (@Jakeryan.photography)
