Foggy Morning on the Mississippi

Foggy Morning on the MississippiFoggy Morning on the MississippiI usually like to get to the Mississippi River fairly early despite the poor lighting it offers early. The best lighting for photographing at this location is later in the day. I was rewarded on this particular morning with a layer of fog across the river and hundred of common mergansers on the water. I then waited for a moment where I could get one of the eagles flying across the scene. I not only got one but two, which made for this cool environmental shot. I really like it.
