On a snowy day

On a snowy day
This photo of a Bald Eagle was taken about a year ago at the Calgary Zoo, on a snowy day. I seem to be posting so many archived images at the moment, but I was getting tired - and thought you, too, might be getting rather fed up - of seeing winter landscapes and ice formations, lol. The last time I got over to the Zoo, I was shocked to see that the huge wire enclosure had been removed and the Bald Eagles and Golden Eagle were nowhere to be seen. A Zoo staff member happened to be near by and she told me that the Zoo no longer had these magnificent birds of prey. So very disappointing.

It has been a beautiful day today, quite warm. However, 5-10 cm of snow are expected overnight tonight to tomorrow overnight. Our snow was melting beautifully today - nicely in time for when a new snowfall arrives. This tends to happen over and over again in the month of March. I was planning to go for a drive outside the city tomorrow - until I saw the forecast. I've lost count of the number of times this has happened, lol.
