Why must they perch...

on the tops of the very tallest trees? The husband was on his way to the mountain for a meeting and called to tell me that there was a lone white pelican on the lake. This is most unusual so I pulled some "street" clothes on over my PJ's and headed out the door. We had several inches of fresh very wet snow so I thought it also might be a good time to test my new slush eater, studded tires. Sure enough, one pelican but since I don't walk on water and it is frowned upon to traverse the train bridge my shots were of the verification kind only. On the trudge down to the lake though I came across two bald eagles, very skittish and very high up. I did like the "gesture" of this one though. The sunset was amazing and the moon quite beautiful but I'm sticking with the not so sharp eagle today.
