Took a trip to Starved Rock Illinois for Eagle Watching Weekend. Absolutely beautiful hiking the trails with ice frosted tree branches and cold crisp air, but alas the generally warm Winter had left enough of the river unfrozen that the Bald Eagles did not need to flock to the openings in the ice created by the Starved Rock Lock and Dam. We saw 2-3 Eagles but did not leave disappointed – the hiking was excellent and a frozen Wildcat Canyon quite spectacular.
