Looking out the window this morning, I noticed some unusually large, broad-winged birds soaring above the park north of our place. Looking through the binoculars, I was surprised to see that they were a pair of bald eagles. Arid midwinter subdivisions aren't exactly bald-eagles usual or best habitat, but whatever. They gradually drifted off toward the Cannon River, which is (marginally) more appropriate. Quite a strange and impressive sight.
