Bald Eagle
Looking across the Mississippi River from an observation post by Lock and Dam 13 the trees were covered with Bald Eagles. We counted about 90 in the vicinity during our stop there. The trees were covered with frost – the temperature was about +3° and the mist from the dam froze on the trees. Eagles gather below each dam to hunt for fish – sometimes as the fish go through the dam they become dazed and float near the surface, where an eagle is ready to pounce.
