Missouri Department of
Conservation
Eagle Days.........
From December through February, Missouri's winter eagle watching
is spectacular. Discover nature with the Missouri Department of
Conservation (MDC) through Eagle Days events around the state,
or enjoy eagle viewing on your own.
Because of the state’s big rivers, many lakes, and abundant
wetlands, Missouri is one of the leading lower 48 states for
bald eagle viewing. Each fall, thousands of these great birds
migrate south from their nesting range in Canada and the Great
Lakes states to hunt in the Show-Me State. Eagles take up
residence wherever they find open water and plentiful food. More
than 2,000 bald eagles are typically reported in Missouri during
winter
ST. LOUIS: Jan. 19 and 20 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Old Chain
of Rocks Bridge south of I-270 off Riverview Drive in St. Louis.
Call 314-301-1500 for more information
CLARKSVILLE: Jan. 26
from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Jan.
27 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Lock and Dam 24 and Apple
Shed Theater in Clarksville. Call 660-785-2424 for more
information.
