Eaglewatch

Watching an eagle fly is an incredibly majestic experience-- especially for kids who may have never seen them soar through the air and heard their shrill call. Even though it's chilly, its worth it.

The opportunities for a short weekend jaunt with nature are availble in the Confluence , described as a "200 square-mile conservation, heritage, and recreation corridor along the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers in the heart of our metropolitan area."

Our national symbol, the bald eagle, migrates south from its nesting range in Canada and the Great Lakes states to hunt along our big rivers.

The Confluence's website is here, and a document listing all the eagle watching opportunities from different local and state agencies can be downloaded here
