On Sunday, it was a beautiful March day, so I took Bailey for a walk from Lock and Dam #2 to Jacees Park along the Mississippi River in Hastings, MN.  I left my camera in the car because I wasn't sure if Bailey's knee would become sore and I would have to carry him back.

Well Bailey did fine on our 2 plus mile walk, during which I noticed lots Bald Eagles flying around.  Then as we were leaving there were 3 immature Bald Eagles on the trees right between the road and the river.  I had to pull over and take out my camera, leaving Bailey in the car.

I went to the river's edge and observed around a dozen mature and immature Bald Eagles fishing in the recently open waters of the Mississippi River.

After practicing capturing some of these eagles in flight and eating their lunch, I went back to the car to find Bailey wondering where I went.
