This is what I've been reduced to since the cold weather moved in.:cry

I'm getting tired of looking at finches!!! :rofl

It's supposed to be sub-zero this weekend...so maybe the following weekend I'll head over to the Mississippi River to shoot Baldys. The river needs to be frozen so that the eagles congregate by the open waters below the dams.

Eagles overlook the Illinois River in this view from the Illinois Waterway Visitor Center.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Nice shot if the little guy Ric.. and the Illinois eagle location looks great. Hope you can get some shots with good weather. Take lots of hand-warmers (and a couple for your battery too). Good Luck !!
