Eagles along the Des Moines River

Des Moines, Iowa

This photo shows at least 14 bald eagles as they overlook the Des Moines River and ready to swoop down to the river for a fish dinner. There were a total of at least 45 in the trees, at least 2/3rds were youngsters, who just like people, do not turn gray until their adult life, usually around 5 years old. It is good to see a thriving population of youngsters after being very high on the endangered list just a few years ago.

1/200s f/32.0 at 300.0mm iso1000 full exif
