We had a pleasant surprise yesterday while driving along the Lincoln Highway in Illinois a few miles west of Franklin Grove. Liz was looking at the fields when she saw a bird she first thought to be a sea gull, but, as it got closer, it was way too big, plus, it had that tell-tale white head and white tail feathers.
Here was our nation's symbol flying over flat fields quite far from the Mississippi River and a great addition to our 40-50 bald eagles that we've seen so far this week, not to mention an unexpected one.
We doubled back to see it, but by then it had flown off into a copse of trees and we waited but didn't see it again.
Too Bad, But, Wow!!! --RoadDog
RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
