Eagle on the ice
One from last week was setting on the ice and looking pretty. Heading South in the morning hope to come back with some interesting stuff to post.

Interesting shot, too bad you could not get a full reflection.

Went to Grafton, Illinois this morning. It was a foggy drive. I jokingly said hope we can see the river when we get there. Standing at the dock it took almost an hour for the river to appear. I could see frozen edge of the river then finally saw ice chunks floating. Fog was so dense. Photographed a few eagles but nothing worthwhile posting. What I did notice, the eagles I saw seemed quite thin. I suppose the frozen river created a food supply problem. Hope to go back next weekend. Hopefully without the fog. Nice light on the Eagle on the Ice.
