Eagle Watching

Cathy and I went to Clarksville to see the eagles. We had a little delay due to a car wreck. We waited for the ambulance to show up before we continued on our trip. We couldn't believe all the eagles that were flying. It was hard to take enough pictures. I sure am glad I had a digital camera instead of film. LOL!!! The weather was cold but we didn't want to get in the car and miss anything. One landed in a tree at the end of the parking lot. As we were leaving we drove down there and got a lot of great pictures of it eating a fish.

Then we continued on our trip. We stopped at Pierre Marquette and checked out the visitor center. They had an eagle nest which was down a muddy road. We opted not to go see that one.

It was getting late in the afternoon so we ate lunch in Grafton. It was great. Then we continued on our day trip.

Next we took the ferry to a conservation area. The agent told us where we could find an eagle nest. We just about got stuck but we got down there to see it. It is in the top left of the picture.

Then we continued into Alton. We were going to eat at Fast Eddies' but we had such a late lunch and had to pass.

It was a wonderful Girls Day!

Love,

Mickey
