these pictures were sent to me by email, not sure about adding them in here as I've never tried to do from an email file before. The pictures were taken in Alton, IL. just a few miles from where I grew up. They are absolutely fascinating! They were taken by a retired teacher, and the close-up shots were not taken with a telescopic lens, they were actually that close. The email said the Eagles were unable to feed from the MIssissippi River because the fish had gone too deep because of the cold.
Locals took it among themselves to provide fish
