Bird watching today

Keith was out riding his bike on the road and when he came back told us he came across some bald eagles. Knowing I'm a huge fan of them, we went out in the car to find them with the kids and camera. Here are some pics I took of them today. Found 3 bald eagles and 2 juveniles! The one bald eagle was downtown CR, overlooking the frozen river on the 1st Ave bridge. Didn't expect to see one there!


I'm hoping we can take a trip to one of the lock and dams over on the Mississippi River in the new couple weeks. One was reporting seeing 400+ adults on Jan 14th! Can you imagine seeing THAT many!! That would be SO cool! If we can't get to one of those, maybe we'll hit the Coralville Dam. Kaden wanted to go down there today, but it would have been dark by the time we arrived. Glad to see the kids love seeing them almost as much as I do. And to think I don't have the Webkinz eagle...yet!
