Bald Eagle sighting

The Des Moines Register had pictures of Bald Eagles just south of Saylorville Lake this morning.  While I was driving to work this morning, saw a Bald Eagle flying over the bike trail near our home.  I figure being close to the river we will see quite a few.

A good day at the feeder (finally)

I'm not here during the day to see what's going on, but today I had some good activity despite the rain.  I've got the feeder in a small oak tree just outside my fence hoping to draw in from the woods (see photo of deer checking the feeder out).  This morning I had a Cardinal, a Chickadee and a Downy Woodpecker.

** On my way to the store, saw 3 Wild Turkeys in someone's driveway.  This house sits in the middle of 13 wooded acres.
