Re: Eagle watching

Of course, Benjamin Franklin considered it a "bird of bad character"!

You know what's funny Tricia...the tree and sky looks almost the same in the pictures I took. Amazing. Maybe the sky is a little bluer. There is a big river that runs through my husband's family farm, and lots of trees. The bald eagles started re-populating there about 20 years ago and the their numbers keep increasing. Takes my breath away when I see one. Such a regal 
bird.

Very cool picture Tricia. For those that wanted to see some bald eagle pics...I attached the two that I took at Thanksgiving in Missouri three years ago. I followed it in my car when I saw it flying...and when it landed, I took this close up (as close as I could get without making him fly 
off).

My husband took me to watch eagles yesterday. We drove towards the 
Illinois
River, planning on driving all the way to the Mississippi in

Alton,Ill.  We

didn't see any for a long long time and I began to think we



wouldn't see


any
at all. I was enjoying being out for a drive anyway. Then we saw 


one,


it

was
just sitting in a tree above a lot to get  in line to cross the



Brussels
Ferry. From there we saw more and more until we saw so many right 


past


the
bridge at Alton. I could count as many as 25 easily. So amazing to 
watch.
We also saw 2 huge nests. The information we picked up said that the 
nest

can
be 10 feet across. They were huge, with such big sticks. I think I 
could

easily say we saw over 50 eagles in total for the day.  Good day!
