I've been wanting to post these pictures but hadn't had an excuse. Last year in January, Jeff and I went to Davenport for the weekend. We were tired of all the snow and cold and just needed a change of scenery. On Sunday morning we walked over the Rock Island Bridge to Rock Island Arsenal. The arsenal is a military owned island in between Illinois and Iowa. And it was covered with eagles. We spent the entire morning taking pictures and just watching them. It was amazing. Here are just a couple of the pictures in honor of my eagle this morning. In the picture below, the darker birds are immature bald eagles. Bald eagles have been removed from the endangered species list this last year since their numbers have finally returned. They are still protected.
