Another Day- Another Eagle

Spent part of this past Sunday doing the second half of the Cannon Valley Trail. This week I went from Red Wing, MN, to Welch Village and back. It was not a warm sunny day. It was cloudy and misting for about half the time. (The sun came out about 15 minutes after I got back to Red Wing.)

But it was a great day. It is always a great day when I get a chance to see an eagle.

I first saw it when it flew across the river but didn't have my camera ready- after all I was moving. So I stopped and kept looking to see if I could spot it, but couldn't. So I took a picture- and the snap of the shutter must have set him flying.

As he flew by me heading downstream I managed to get a good shot.

It is always a joy to see one of these great birds fly by.
