We took a short hike around parts of Jackson Lake and were thrilled to see this bald eagle watching over it's territory from a dead lodgepole pine tree. Bald eagles are found near large bodies of open water; Jackson Lake being roughly 15 miles by 7 miles with a depth in excess of 435 feet at its deepest point. They get the white head when they reach sexual maturity which is usually the age of 4 or 5 years. Bald eagles are not actually bald, but the name comes from an older meaning of "white headed".
Our weather has been fantastic with no clouds in the sky most mornings, as you can see from the photo below.
