Bee Tree Park, St. Louis, MO

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!
