It was a gorgeous January day in Central Oklahoma and Marilyn and I went eagle-watching at Lake Arcadia, near Edmond.  You can see by the pics just how dry it is here.  We didn’t spot any eagles but did see many ducks, crows and gulls.

Lake Arcadia was formed by damming one of the deeply incised valleys in the hills surrounding Edmond.  Rock at lakeside is red, pisolitic sandstone that dates to the Permian.  One of the pictures is an old, abandoned threshing machine.  How old?  Who knows?

Yes, there are eagles populating the area around Lake Arcadia.  Bald eagles.  Tomorrow we will try again.  If we’re not too sore to get out of bed, that is.
