Today was my day off from Cabela's this week. I made good use of it. Wanda and I spent from dawn 'til dusk up Diamond Fork Canyon watching and photographing wildlife.

We watched about 50 wild turkeys fly from there frosty roost high in the cottonwoods at dawn. It was still to dark to take photos. A little after sunrise I did get a photo of an immature bald eagle siting high in a cottonwood tree http://www.pbase.com/slowpokebill/image/55217064 It was seven bellow zero Fahrenheit when I snapped this picture.

Later in the day we staked out a mule deer carcass, which was killed by cougar earlier in the week. We watched as a Golden Eagle came in for an easy meal http://www.pbase.com/slowpokebill/image/55243316

He hadn't been there long before a bald eagle came to check things out http://www.pbase.com/slowpokebill/image/55243454


Those photos really give you an idea just how big eagles really are. That's a full grown mule deer doe carcass the bald eagle is sitting on http://www.pbase.com/slowpokebill/image/55243578



We finished off the day watching this little buck and then as the sun was setting we watched a trophy bull elk and his cows high up on the ridge http://www.pbase.com/image/55244959
