I spent the day at the dam on the Mississippi River at Canton, MO photographing eagles - my 1st time this year. I’d estimate > 100, with the majority on the Illinois side of the river. But there were > 30 on the Missouri side.
It was a perfect sunny day, with temperature in the 18-26F range and light winds from the southwest. Clouds moved in around 2pm.
There were also quite a few Trumpeter Seans flying by overhead, as well as lots of American White Pelicans.
With warmer temps in the 40s and 50s over the next few days, I would suspect the eagles may disperse or spend their time soaring up high. But next week the cold temps will return and should again be excellent eagle viewing.
