A pair of . . .

bald eagles! Credit for this photo goes to today's guest photographer, my boyfriend and hiking companion, Jon. Over the next several days, you'll tag along on a recent hiking trip to Starved Rock State Park, along the Illinois River in north-central IL. It's known as a winter nesting ground for bald eagles. I had a couple of eagle shots, but none as nice as his, so I borrowed this one.

  3. Congratulations to your boyfriend for this one! We were in Indiana over the weekend and found an area with 6 bald eagles along the Wabash River. Our 6 year old grandson was wonderfully amazed.

  6. I love these birds. I have one that has made my trees outback its winter home. So hard to get a good shot as they always seem to move at the wrong time.
