If you can believe it or not we saw at least 50-75 eagles on the levy road in monroe county il, four to six in the trees just a slough of them on the ground. Never in my life would i have expected to see so many. My wife an i drove to grafton il last year and saw six.

Yes sir, they say our nation's symbol is making a come back. We are seeing more every winter and a few during the summer here in Arkansas.

Check up around Louisianna area in the winter. I took this pic around the first of January last year or the year before. I counted forty that I could see. These are the closest to us. I misplaced my other pic of across the river, very impressive numbers.

I've been seeing a couple every morning here on Table Rock in Missouri.

I've seen a bunch going from KY into IN around Henderson. had to be close to 2 dozen in the trees. The river was mostly frozen and they looked hungry and lethargic. Seen Eagles several times in FL when I lived there, they are fantastic to watch. Sometimes you can get close but not often for me.
