Down the hatch!
Based on the scales I'm pretty sure that's a carp that this American white pelican managed to snag near the #IowaRiverPowerDam along the #IowaRiverTrail in Coralville, Iowa.

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.

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 oneπ, taken from the paved trail, may be the closest I've been to a bald eagle.

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.

Came across some interesting ice formations on the #IowaRiver and along the #IowaRiverTrail the other day. Presumably little "islands" of ice that fused together due to to the slower current and especially cold shadows along one side of the river next to the dam.
