Bald Eagles are common here, especially as the weather starts to cool off. This December has been unseasonably warm for the most part, which doesn’t add up to a lot of eagle sightings…but every now and then you find one that’s in a good spot and enjoying its view. And this makes it much easier to enjoy mine. This bird was perched over the Cedar River near a boat ramp…so we parked a bit downriver and just watched for a while as the sun began to set. In the end, I think we all had a pretty good afternoon.
