Jay,
I know how beautiful the river flight can be at this time of year.
However, over the last several years the number of eagles flying along
the river has increased dramatically. I have had several near misses
in the last few months. I now avoid flight near the river at low
altitudes if at all possible. Just an FYI.

We did a beautiful leaf-peeping flight up the Mississippi River to
LaCrosse, WI (KLSE) today. Our recent spate of high winds and heavy
rains had torn many of the leaves down before they could reach their
prime, but tbe golds and reds along the bluffs that line the shoreline
were still breath-taking.
