I made my first trip to the Mississippi today...with the strange winter we've had, the eagle numbers are down but I wanted to go today to check it out anyway. Sure enough there weren't very many eagles and the action was very slow. It made for a cold, slow day along the river, but around 1:30 the action picked up and the light was wonderful. Here i...
