Bald eagles

One of these years I'm going to make it out west to the Mississippi or Illinois River to see the bald eagles that roost there this time of year. I've always wanted to do it, but haven't found the time yet.

I'd always heard that the Quad Cities had spectacular viewing spots, but the Sun-Times has an article in today's paper about viewing them in southwest Illinois in the Alton-Grafton area. I absolutely love state parks and Pere Marquette State Park and Lodge has a fantastic facility with viewing space in their visitor's center.

One of these years... *sigh*
