Seed Pickers and Peanut Thieves: Decorah Iowa Onlookers

The crowd gathers to steal a look at the nations most famous eagles.

To see all the wonderful detail in the birds.....don't forget to click on the picture to see the larger version of the photo!

Rog: How many of us take the birds we see everyday for granted? I did, until last year. My wife made a suggestion that we get a bird feeder and hang it on the deck. Having an interest in photography for many years, I thought I'd pick up the camera and give bird photography a try. Once I viewed the pictures of the birds on my computer I was astonished by the incredible detail in the coloring and layering of the feathers on these birds. But I won't stop there. For me, I have just as much fun watching the behavior of the birds. I promise, if you sit and just watch their behavior, you'll laugh. They can be comedians and acrobats. If you haven't spent any time with the birds in your backyard, I urge you to give it a try. I don't think you'll be disappointed. They are indeed small miracles of our Creator. I for one will not take any bird for granted any more. I hope that perhaps looking at these pictures will inspire you to have a greater appreciation for what you see and probably take for granted. My very best.....Rog
