Eagle Watching

What a fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Katlin, Dan and I went to watch the eagles along the river in Ottumwa. It was BRISK by the water, but they have a really nice path to walk and watch. This one was out on rabbit run and was the closest we got to one. As soon as I tried to get closer he took off and flew away.

They look so far away but were really beautiful soaring and diving, and the sun was out for a few minutes. The first time in weeks it seams.

They are much bigger than you think. And by the way, does anyone know why they almost always sit in the the top most branches?

The noise in the video is the wind. It was blowing at a pretty good clip. And you can see the clouds rolling in.
