This past Saturday Jer and I got to enjoy spending a relaxing morning with my parents - The Lambie's . We all got up relatively early, for a Saturday, and Mom & Dad took us to Piasa Harbor to get a Big Weekend Breakfast! Afterwards, Baby Linley got his/her first taste of a long standing tradition in my family! We took a drive to look for eagles, both Immature and Mature (ask David for further explanation). Yes - We are the crazy people driving up and down the River Road looking to see if we can spot one of those gracious and beautiful birds.
We drove down the Great River Road, across to Lincoln Shields, and then over towards the Lock and Dam. We saw a ton of them out on the ice and a few soaring above us. But we never really got a good look at any up close until we took off down the Berm (Route 143) . There, Dad spotted one and pulled off near the bike path along the levee . We were able to walk down a trail to the river and follow it. We watched it soaring right above us. I think it might even have landed in the trees right above us, but we were loud and scared it off. What a fabulous improtu Saturday morning adventure!
