In January of 2010, t6h weather stayed so cold in St. Louis, Missouri and Alton, Illinois that the bald eagles were cruising over houses in hopes of a quick meal. They could not access fish at the bottom of the river and had gathered together.
Some kind souls decided to feed the eagles so they could survive the cold spell. They gathered fish and started feeding the group of eagles huddled on the shore.
A beautiful morning to feed the eagles.
Fish were thrown; the eagles did not seem to fear the
good Samaritans, and word spread fast!
Eagles vying for the fish.
No zoom lens used here.
The photographer was this close!
Here are the men who were feeding the eagles. So near!
As you know, it was not tool long ago that the
American Bald Eagle was an endangered species...
