Took a roundabout way to lunch, driving north on Illinois Rt. 25 by the Fox River looking for bald eagles.  Spouse commented that she thought we were having lunch today not tomorrow, but honestly this side trip only took an extra 40 minutes.

 
Saw four eagles, two adults and two juveniles.  Three of them were poorly visible tucked away in the trees. This adult bald eagle was in a highly visible spot perched in a dead tree north of Mill Street in Montgomery, about 200 meters south of the Montgomery dam.
 
Only spent six minutes taking pics of this eagle before my fingers turned into icicles.  Will return soon and spend more time hoping for action shots.
