Hi everyone, back a year or so ago someone posted pictures of hundreds and hundreds of Bald Eagles situated in a river at a dam in the winter and I would really like to know where they took the picture, I would like to go to the best migration spot on the Mississippi valley to see Bald Eagles and I am sure that the pictures the poster put on where from the Mississippi Valley in the Iowa/Illinois area, any help would be much appreciated.

Thx
Paul

The lock and dam at Dubuque, IA would probably be the place.

Thankyou for your reply TG from what I can get from googling there is a Lock and Dam #14 which I understand is a good place, do you know the lock number that is in Dubuque, IA .

Thx Again

Paul,

I think this will help you, it even shows the Eagle counts by location. We went to Fulton last year in January and there were over 600 Eagles there.
