Yesterday, we drove the short distance from Clinton, Iowa, to the Quad Cities.
Our first stop was in Princeton along US-67. In the past, we've seen lots of eagles here, but today, just one. But this one was something else, perched on the tree by the Mississippi. We got some great shots, both video and camera, when a lady at the house by the tree came out and invited us to go out onto her deck for an even closer look. Was that ever nice.
We saw two others flying a short distance down river.
None were in LeClare, but as we got nearer to Bettendorf, we started to see more. We got a great shot of one just south of the I-80 bridge. Then, we hit the jack pot by the Bettendorf lock and dam. We must have seen at least 20 there.
The sky was the bluest blue, temps in the 30s and not much wind. Great eagle watching westher.

Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
