Bald Eagles-1/26/11

Spotted a couple Bald Eagles on the way back to Cedar Rapids 
around the Iowa River Basin at the Amanas.




The second one was up high in a tree across from the 
other Eagle.

Back across the road for a couple more before 
heading home.

Cardinal on tree limb

My wife pointed me to a Cardinal outside our living room window. Grabbed the camera and got this. Love these beautiful birds; they are my favorite species.
