  2. A pied-billed grebe on the #IowaRiver along the #IowaRiverTrail. This encounter was a complete first for me. I didn't know this species existed prior to taking this photo and rushed home to ID it as soon as I could. For a birder, that's about as exciting as it gets👍.

  3. Other than the usual focus & framing concerns (had to go w/ a landscape crop w/ this image) it's been my experience that it's difficult to find an angle on a gull that can't produce a beautiful image. This is a ring-billed gull flying over the #IowaRiver near the #IowaRiverPowerDam along the #IowaRiverTrail in #Coralville, Iowa.

  4. A remarkable number of eagles on the #IowaRiver between #IowaCity & #Coralville this past winter. A friend counted 48 along a 7 mile stretch of the river & the #IowaRiverTrail. On Monday I observed 10 in stand of 5-7 trees. I think this one👇, taken from the paved trail, may be the closest I've been to a bald eagle.

  5. Came across some interesting ice formations on the #IowaRiver and along the #IowaRiverTrail the other day. Presumably little "islands" of ice that fused together due to to the slower current and especially cold shadows along one side of the river next to the dam.
