We continued our search for eagles today, and ended up in the park.

A few were roosting in their favorite dead trees on Plum Island, along the Illinois River, watching for fish near the surface.

 we parked and walked to the waters edge to get this shot. would still love that telephoto lens, maybe next year….  the eagle is in the center of the picture

We’ve spent the last two weeks with the temperatures in the single digits so it was wonderful when it warmed to the forties today and everything started to melt.

 Just yesterday, this part of the river was solid ice and under snow.

The end to a beautiful day…….
