Eagles Everywhere!


Temperatures have been dropping and the backwaters of the Mississippi River are starting to freeze. That means EAGLES! And lots of them! Yesterday, the highlight of my day was watching all the eagles out on the river across from the center. Lots of action - eagles perched, flying, catching fish, stalking waterfowl and ice skating. Love it! And the numbers are only supposed to get better :)

My Drive to Work

I am lucky - I get to drive to work following the Mississippi River. Many mornings, I am easily distracted by the beauty, the birds and other critters. Occasionally, I have enough time on my drive to or from work that I can pull over and take a few pictures. The past week in particular has been awesome!

Cormorants (I think) having a party
Juvenile Bald Eagle
River on a cloudy day
River perfectly calm and glass-like
Love the reflections!
