In Search of Eagles

We took a four hour drive searching for eagles this weekend. Our friends found a nesting pair on the west side of Utah Lake so we went out to see them ourselves. In all, we drove about 150 miles around the west desert through Vernon and into Saratoga Springs. We saw one eagle soaring through the skies just before entering the small town of Eureka. Sadly we didn't find the nesting pair, but we did find their nest in the tree our friends sent us coordinates to. It was a clear day and the mountains were beautiful in the distance. While we didn't get any pictures of eagles, we did snag a photo of large hawk on a power pole. The hawk didn't like us. He kept flying down the road from pole to pole and he'd fly away just when we were about to snap photos. I took this photo from a long distance- an entire power pole away from where we had last stopped. I zoomed in the best I could, but I wasn't able to get the picture as clear as I would have liked.
