Last Sunday I was coming home from Stratford I came across a flock of bald eagles in an empty field. Unfortunately, I had the wrong lenses with me, so this great opportunity turned into a great failure.
Here is what I was able to get:

It was the first time I’ve seen bald eagles in Boone County besides down by the Des Moines River. I’ve never seen a bunch together. There were about 10-15 in this field just north of Ridgeport.
