If you are looking for something to do on a dreary winter day, consider going to the River and watch the eagles. Following this suggestion from M&M, we loaded up our ailing dog in the van and went to Grafton, IL, to watch our National Birds, the eagles yesterday. It was a crisp, windy day and the eagles were active. Armed with binoculars and bundled in down, we watched them. We joined other spectators whose vehicles lined the roads; there were people with cameras armed with huge zoom lenses, and binoculars. They took pictures and studied them with a quiet zeal.
We then drove on to Grafton and stopped for lunch at a nice little bar and grill that had rebuilt after a flood, and enjoyed some beer and a nice bowl of chili with a grilled cheese sandwich--perfect on a winter day. It was nice to get out, and Greta loves a ride in the car. (We were still unable to get her to eat anything and are feeling very sad about that.)
We didn't take pictures and those posted here were lifted from the Internet.
