I have not done my dedicated "run" of the river downstream from downtown
Appleton, but in the last week, I have seen two eagles--one adult, one in
transition to adult plumage--wheeling over the Hwy. 441 bridge, another fly
over my house (east edge of Appleton) heading north toward Kimberly, and two
adults perched near a nest I hadn't seen before just north of Wrightstown on
the west side of the Fox as I was heading north on Hwy. Z which runs along
the east side of the river. On that same route, there were another two in
flight near the river closer to De Pere, and one more adult flying directly
over St. Norbert campus in De Pere. And lastly, there was another
"transitional" bird feeding on what I presumed to be carrion behind a barn
on State Park Rd. this morning here in Darboy nowhere near any water, frozen
or otherwise.
So, they're around. I would suspect Thousand Islands would hold quite a few
as most of the rest of the river is freezing up rather quickly.

I took a look around Neenah/Menasha today to see what ducks were around and
how many eagles were present. Last year, I was able to find 65 eagles on the
same route, today I found zero - although I did see one 1st year bird
yesterday. Otherwise, the ducks were standard, ~1,800 mallards, ~700 C.
Goldeneyes, a smattering of Common and RB Mergs and around 25 Black Ducks.
Was surprised not to find any Scaup, Ring Neck or Redheads.
Also found one Kingfisher.

I generally see one bald eagle on the Fox River off E Water St in Appleton,
WI around 7:30 each morning as I head to work. This morning there were two
magnificent mature birds and I caught one swooping into the river for
something as I drove by. They were just west of the Lawrence University
tennis courts and next to the Woolen Mills building. There is a small tree
east of the Woolen Mills that I have seen one sitting in quite often.
