Snow storms and bald eagles
Last night the snow started to come down again. We have had several weeks of beautiful sunny weather (although cold) and it’s been great. The snow had started to leave, however with this storm we had another 4″-6″ at my house this morning … and the ground is well covered here at work.

The drive to work is always interesting in this type of weather. I drove here at ~30mph behind a group of cars that were being *extremely* cautious. What made the trip worthwhile was the section of Provo Canyon just before the Sundance Resort turn off. As I came out of the last turn, I was joined by a bald eagle that chose to fly above the Provo River, just off to the left of my truck. He glided along for almost a third of a mile or more, and then slowed and gently banked away.

I have seen a mating pair of these birds in my back yard for the last week … I wonder if this is the same one. They are incredible birds to watch. And even during a snow storm, they make their flight look so effortless. What a great way to start the morning!
