Canyon of the Eagles
I had not realized it before hearing from someone that Bald Eagles nest on a river northwest of Burnet, Texas. These pictures are from a boat trip I took up the Colorado River from the north end of lake Buchanan. What we were looking for we found. A picture is to the right. We started out from the north end of the lake (below) and headed up the Colorado River from there (below, right). |

Near the north end of the lake is a formation created by a river flowing into the lake off a cliff. It creates a beautiful waterfall when more water is flowing. | |
As you travel up the river, you'll see some other interesting formations created by water flowing down into the river. There's supposed to be a face in the formation to the right. Another one from the river is below. |
|
Along the way you'll see some other interesting things like the tree (below, left) and cactus (below, right). |
|
There's a smaller waterfall up the river too. | |
And some animals other than eagles along the way: a Blue Heron (left); a goat (below, left) and some cows from one of the ranches (below, right). |
|
And, one last shot from the south end of the lake at the dam. It's a beautiful lake and a nice trip. I'd like to go back sometime. (Which I did -- see link for 2007 trip above.) |
