Hubby has lots of pics of them this fall at Riverside park. He saw them on the otherside of the river. Got some very cool pics.

Well, now I feel better. Last September, I saw what I thought was a bald eagle on the bank of the pond in Traxler Park. Naturally, it flew off before I could snap a picture. Almost everyone I told said I was wrong, that there aren't any eagles around here. Now that Glen has seen one too, I'll be looking for eagles more often down by the river.

Very nice, video and music. I don't live near the river, but had the same frosty condition on the trees. Weather Channel called it "freezing fog".

It was a special day, and I didn't get to see as much of it as I would have liked, so I appreciate you capturing it. Good job, as always.
