Continuing With the Pair Theme That Began Yesterday

Yesterday I shared an image of two adult bald eagles perched on a branch over the Wapsipinicon River (see below, after the photo of the young eagles). After being out in today’s windy and cold conditions, I did not expect a repeat viewing of multiple adult bald eagles and I did not get it. However, I was able to photograph a pair of young bald eagles in field - likely feeding on something. Adults were nearby too, but too far away.

Another wildlife pair observed were these two whitetail deer along the edge of a timber. When I first noticed the deer there were four, but two quickly vanished into the timber.
