Saturday morning, 2/19/11
Get up early... started the day with breakfast at Mickey D's (as usual..for any hiking day..). It was about 40 degree Fahrenheit (4-5 Celsius).. Quite a chilly day.
View of the lake in the park |
An eagle was flying just right above me. It was the first time that I saw a wild eagle that close. But still...I need a more powerful zoom lens :) |
Then he landed on a tree and rested there for quite a while. |
Then..came a mockingbird... |
A flock of geese was floating on the lake.. looking for fishes... |
The old mansion built in 1902... |
The overlook over the Mississippi river, one of the biggest river in the U.S. |
View from the trail...looking up to see the rear of the mansion. |
Another overlook... |
While walking back on the Paw Paw trail...here come a cardinal or red bird... |
And.... finally... a robin bird.... Spring is coming! |
