Need to take a night on the road and go up to the dams on the Mississippi River
if they want to see lots of eagles, many up close and personal, especially at
Canton, MO and Quincy, IL. However, ages 2-4-10 might get a little antsy. :-)
Just returned from Florida where we saw four--3 at Sanibel, one at Seagrove
Beach. Many yellow rumps at the little park I went to at Seagrove. This was not
a birding trip, but I did get two life birds at Ding Darling--reddish egret and
yellow crowned night heron. So many osprey on the nests at Sanibel that we lost
count. AND Thanks to all who recommended IBirdPro for my ITouch. DL'd it when
I got to our lodging and it served me well since I went off and left my bird
field guides at home.

Subject: [birdky] Bald eagles and such
Yesterday (2-4-10) my nonbirding friends wanted to see eagles. On the
way to Land Between the Lakes we observed the Olive Branch eagle sitting
on its nest.There are only six limbs left on this tree!! We then
observed an eagle sitting on the Honker Lake nest. While watching, the
mate flew in with food. Three juv. eagles flew over the lake, and
another juv. was perched at the Duncan Lake roost. Eagles Weekend out
of Kenlake this weekend should produce a good show.
A peregrine falcon was busy swooping off of the Eggner's Ferry Bridge.
Common (6) and hooded (6) mergansers and a horned grebe floated on
Honker Lake.
Five yellow-rumped warblers were flitting at the water edge.
