Easy Decision

As I traveled between a class this morning and a meeting this afternoon I noticed many bald eagles in trees and demonstrating their aerial prowess as mating season for birds of prey gets underway. When i could I photographed the birds, but my pictures all looked like previous days’ work.

Later today, as I crossed the Wapsipinicon River, my eyes were drawn to these two adult eagles perched together on a branch. My hope was my exposure and focus were accurate so a decent image could be recorded. I am happy with this view and quickly knew which photo I would share today.
