Happy Wednesday!

Had lunch with a couple of my dear Friends yesterday in Maquoketa and on the way back I had to go by the Duck  Pond.  Found this guy and lots of his friends there as well.

There were two eagles at the pond as well.  A mature and a juvenile.  The mature eagle was circling the pond at a pretty high altitude.  I couldn’t get a sharp image of him.  The juvenile was sitting on top of a dead tree but for some reason the auto focus locked on the tree and not the bird.  I have a lot of blurry shots of him.

I did get these two double-crested cormorants however.

I took the foot trail up to the blind to get a better angle on the eagle but he flew so I grabbed some close-ups of the pelicans.  There was quite a large gathering of them at the pond!

Enjoy your day and be careful.
