Went for a walk yesterday

My goal was to find the railroad tracks sticking out of the side of the hill my neighbor told me about and to see a Bald Eagle or two.  Trails were a little slick. 

I did not find the tracks (part of an old coal mine).  I will need to get a better idea where to look.  I saw a Bald Eagle from a distance but it flew off.  So I settled for these Canada Geese on the Des Moines River....

 

I like this Cottonwood near the river...

 

Someone is building a shelter in the woods...

 

There are Indian burial mounds in the woods.  It's hard to see the mounds here, but these may be some of them...
