Prince Baskettail - Epitheca princeps.
I had just posted this on Flickr in hopes of finding an ID, and two people were able to help me out - so it gets posted, despite the not-so-sharp image!
Photo taken with the Canon Digital Rebel XT / 350D and a Sigma 70-300mm Lens on July 5, 2008 in Oak Run (Dahinda), Illinois.

There were some mid-air scuffles between some of the Bald Eagles over Lock and Dam 15. The one on the right looks like a 3rd year juvenile, as the original shows the eye stripe on the white head, while the tail is not yet uniformly white and the back shows a bit of the white mottling (but not much) common in juveniles.

White-Tailed Deer - Odocoileus virginianus.
ID:
Size varies greatly; a small to medium-size deer. Tan or reddish brown above in summer; grayish brown in winter. Belly, throat, nose band, eye ring, and inside of ears are white.
Although mentioned by eNature.com as endangered in some areas, White-Tailed Deer are, in fact, over-abundant in Iowa. Our main problem is that not enough people seem interested in hunting them and thinning their numbers to a healthy (for them and us) amount. Plus, just the thought of hunting angers many people, and with the eradication of their main predators (wolves, etc.) from most of Iowa, the deer are in a position to expand exponentially.

A Full Moon for the New Year.

American Kestrel - Falco sparverius - also known as Crécerelle d’Amérique (French), Amerikaanse torenvalk (Dutch), Buntfalke (German), Gheppio americano (Italian), and Cernícalo Americano (Spanish).
I am waiting for a new lens and just do not have the desire to get out with the old one, but this guy was sitting on the power lines so I snapped a few shots from the car. Cold, overcast and snowy.
