Over 100 Hundred Eagles

If any readers are close to Rock Island, Illinois, and specifically the Rock Island Arsenal, please make a trip today or tomorrow to see the bald-headed eagles.

On my way to my doctor's for a check-up today, I saw easily 60 eagles. There may be as many as 100 in the trees, as two friends of mine saw that many earlier this week.

Because of all the ice in the north, the eagles fly to the south and to where there are locks and dams which break up the ice. The ice is so late breaking up north of here this year, that these noble birds have gathered in the Quad Cities.

Worth a visit.
