Brian and I went to the Quad Cities today and drove along the Mississippi River to take some pictures of the eagles and other flying critters. We were told that this stretch along the Mississippi has the highest concentration of Bald Eagles in North America and is second only to Alaska in number of Bald Eagles. There were loads of eagles fishing and I got a few good shots (took 341 pictures and deleted all but 21 - do the math - that's only 6% - I LOVE digital!!). It always seems like they are just out of reach of my lens (70-300mm). My kingdom for one of those big monster lenses!! Anyway - here are a few of the photos:
