While I was out on the Greenway bicycle path yesterday (Oct 18'05) I stopped to watch an eagle give some antagonizing crows a flying lesson or two, over Lake Calhoun.

This bike path is built on a RR right-of-way. It runs by my place and on East ~6 miles to the Mississippi River. The last section before and over the river will be completed next fall.

In the meantime the old Mississippi RR trestle is over 100 feet above the river and gives a great view upstream and of downtown Minneapolis. I was riding with a pal and his wife yesterday and we may have caught the 'Colors' at peak.
