Fox River

Yesterday I was pining for the green of Spring and Summer, saying I can't wait to blip lots and lots of green.  But it's winter, and despite temps in the single digits Fahrenheit may as well embrace it. Drove north on Illinois Rt 25 on the Fox River late this morning looking for eagles, which fly south down the Fox River and winter in this area.  I saw four eagles and captured one in flight, but not good enough to blip. The only birds photos good enough to post today were hundreds of duck butts sticking up out of the water as the ducks fed in the shallow river. Perhaps we'll save that wonderful sight for another time.  This photo is at a small side channel on the Fox River at Troy Park, Oswego, Illinois. I just looked at this photo closely, and there's a duck butt in this one!
