Allerton Park and Retreat Center Greeting Card IMG_114637

The Sangamon River winds through a corridor of snow-laden trees at Allerton Park and Retreat Center in Monticello, Illinois — the entire landscape rendered in near-monochrome white and silver-blue, the overcast sky merging almost seamlessly with the snow-covered bank, the dark open water of the river the only contrast in the frame. A bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) perches in the treetop, drawn to the open water on one of the finest winter river stretches in central Illinois.
