Birds of Cedar Lake

Took a 30 minute walk--in between
railroad shoots--around Cedar Lake in downtown 

Cedar Rapids and found a few feathered friends 

all in a section of the lake where there is water.

Another set of Bald Eagle photos taken at random along

the Cedar River from the Roller Dam area.

Bald Eagles @ the Cedar River Roller Dam

Spent almost the entire day at the Cedar River Roller Dam in Southeastern Cedar Rapids on February 9, 2011. Although the weather was very cold, breezy and still snowpacked, the Bald Eagles were out in full force.

Here are some of the best shots from the day; total 56 photos out of over 200 made it to this update.

Enjoy the photos!!!

Feel free to leave a rating or comment.

A member of the Cedar Rapids Police Dept took in

some of the views while patroling. The same officer came

by my vantage point saying that he gets a chance to come

down once a day to enjoy the view. "He loves it."

This one is earning his "stripes".
