Eager for Eagles at Starved Rock SP, IL

Early rising today and decided to check out the bald eagles at Starved Rock SP again. 

Thing were looking up.  Saw a bald eagle sitting on a tree on I-80 around Seneca IL.  So close! but no chance or place to stop to take a picture.  He must have been looking for field mice or rabbits. 

As soon as I pulled in the parking lot, 3 were flying on the river right in front of me.  There was only one in December (the resident eagle), but this time out, found about 7 including 1 juvenile.  Less than last year but ... yea!

It was foggy & overcast, so some pictures have been lightened and cropped to post more.

Am I the only one who gets emotional seeing our national symbol?
