Feeding the Eagles!

[patchz]

Got this in another email from H. I thought it was worth sharing.

January of this year, 2011, the weather stayed so cold in St. Louis, Missouri and Alton, Illinois that the bald eagles were cruising over houses in hopes of a quick meal.
Correction, thanks to Hagar.

The photographs were taken in 2009 at a specially designated eagle feeding area near the town of Homer, Alaska.

Unbelievable pics L.T. Thanks for sharing these        8-)

When I lived and worked in Florida, we made frequent trips to the landfill.  There were always bald and golden eagles just walking among the people that were dumping.  Quite an amazing site to have a bird that stands over 2 feet tall just walk right past you.

Incredible! I see bald eagles around here once in a while, they fish in the Missouri river in the winter time. I don't know where our eagles go in the summer. I saw a golden eagle once along a country road, Just as he took off. The size of that bird was amazing.

Thanks Doug. I didn't think that looked like St. Louis, but I never thought to question it.

I treat everything I read on t'Internet with suspicion these days. The photos are impressive enough without inventing a story to go with them. I can't think what satisfaction people get out of circulating these things.

I agree, especially in this case. The original story was fine to go with the pictures and needed no embellishment.

[TacitBlue]

The real story is actually more interesting, I think.

It isn't the first time I've been sent errant info with e-mailed pxs; we can usually count on Hagar to search things out for us, something I currently have very little time to do. Started my gov't-payed (yet to see) part-time job today -- which still won't be enough to pay the bills -- giving me less time to vie for a library computer...

The original "story" makes me giggle.

I cross the Missouri River twice a day five times a week (sometimes six or seven!), the Mississippi a few times a month (via bridge and/or ferry), and the Illinois too, all within a few miles of their confluences which is not all that too far to the north of the St. Louis area.

Except in heavy fog, I have ALWAYS been able to see the other side(s).

If you need some salt, you can have this that you rubbed in my wound back.

I know. But I had to say something.
