10/29/26 Mississippi River
With clouds in the forecast I decided to go to the Mississippi River. I did catch one 9#, 27″. The river is still muddy. I heard a Falcon, tried to get focus in low light and just couldn’t catch up but it was attacking an eagle, running it out of the territory. That’s good to see they are still around in spite of the squatters.

10/25/26 Rock River Drift – The morning started out not seeing a young deer right in front of me as I was looking in the wrong direction, but I still got a few photos of her playing. I saw a juvenile Bald Eagle so I moved to the other side of the river while getting this photo. I always try to give them room when I can.

10/23/26 Herbie
My partner, Herbie. He has been going out in my boats for 14 years now. He is silent, stays out of the way and freezes when he tangles. He just sits under my seat or up front nose to the wind while running up river. He is a Chin/Pekeneze mix. He’s getting old and is deaf so he only goes about half the time now. He’s been on Lake Erie and many other places out in the boat.

10/23/2026 Rock River Drift – I extended my drift this time, drifting all the way to Rod & Gun Club area. I saw a young deer, then a doe about 50 yards down. I did find another eagle’s nest down river. There isn’t much around, hardly any waterfowl. The river dropped quite a bit.

10/19/2026 Rock River Drift – I didn’t see much wildlife today. As I ran upriver, I looked for the eagles that usually perch in the area, but they were gone. I didn’t see much of anything until I got about a mile farther downriver near the eagle nest site. There, I spotted the female eagle perched in one of her usual trees.
