Eagle Season is upon us...
....Bald Eagles, that is. It’s time to go to the river and see the eagles that are drifting down from the north. Bald Eagles fly south along the Mississippi River to find open water and good fishing. Just north of the St. Louis area are quite a few spots to enjoy these strong, bold and majestic creatures. The Bald eagles often congregate below the Locks and Dams to gather fish that have been temporarily stunned. Below that Dam, on the bank of the river, is a great place for you to position yourself to see some amazing flying behaviors.
Some places that have easy accessibility are near Alton, Grafton, and at Pere Marquette Lodge in Illinois. On the Missouri side of the river you can go to Clarksville, Winfield – or -on the Missouri side of the river across from Alton at a place called the Riverlands Environmental Demonstration Area. All have convenient parking. Bring your binoculars to enhance your view of the activity.
Today I am catching the "Eagle fever" because I have a couple of bird programs at a school in Canton, Missouri. Canton is a Mississippi River town about 3 hours north of St. Louis. I can't wait to get to the river to see some Eagles.
