Just drove across the Saylorville mile-long bridge. There is a remaining ice span, along the north side of the bridge, and I conservatively estimate there are 250 eagles scattered across the ice, like stars in the sky! There might even be 300. One can only take occasional glances while driving across the bridge, so an accurate count is not possible. The ice is going out quickly, so this may only last today and possibly tomorrow. It's the largest eagle grouping I've ever seen..
