I took this today on the mighty Mississippi. We may not have much “wild” around here, but the bald eagles in the Midwest sure seem to like the Mississippi in the winter months. Please click the image for the proper view, it looks much better:

Nice photo! What a picture of beauty and grace!
Thanks Gline! That was a pretty cool eagle that was down at the Iowa/Illinois border yesterday. It was about 20 degrees out with a nice wind coming off the river. The eagle didn’t seem to care so much.
20 degrees is good fishing weather for an eagle–as long as the water doesn’t ice over.
