"Ooooh! There you are 👍."

The first #wildflowers I've discovered this year on #ClearCreekTrail in #Coralville, Iowa. My ID app suggests that they are Anemone hepatica, aka liverwort aka kidneywort aka pennywort & I tend to agree. This would be a new species for me. I think they're gorgeous and I may see if I can't add this species to my #garden at some point.

It was an incredible year for American bald eagles along the #IowaRiver in #Coralville and #IowaCity, Iowa. But the beginning of March is typically the end of the migratory visit and the eagles move north to breed. Sorry to see them go but look forward to our encounters next year.

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.

About this time every year the # of gulls around the #IowaRiverPowerDam in #Coralville, Iowa, increases dramatically. I think they're feeding on gizzard shad which often inhabit the oxygenated waters downstream of dams. Young & yearling gizzard shad are susceptible to fluctuating water temperatures & the gulls may be timing their arrival to the spring shad die-off.

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.

The city of #IowaCity, Iowa, as well as my hometown of #Coralville have begun devoting large portion of public land to prairie restoration. The restored portions of City Park in Iowa City played host to an enormous mass bloom of prairie coneflowers aka yellow coneflowers (Ratibida pinnata) which is one of my absolute favorites👍.

Bald eagle scores a prize along the #IowaRiver just south of the #IowaRiverPowerDam in #Coralville, Iowa. Normally they pull shad out of the river but this one looks like a perch to me. Can any fishers out there ID the fish species from the pic?

Bald eagle along the #IowaRiver and the #IowaRiverTrail in #Coralville, Iowa. This bald eagle still has some brown head feathers indicating that it is likely still a juvenile.
