Watching the Bald Eagles

This morning Clara and BJ took the mules out to the lake on a trail ride.  After they got home, we had lunch and headed out to look for bald eagles.  We went to Cannon Dam on Mark Twain Lake but only saw a couple eagles so we decided to go to Saverton Dam which is on the Mississippi.  At Saverton Dam we saw many eagles.  There were quite a few eagles perched in the trees as well as some flying around fishing from the Mississippi.  It is very cool to see the eagles considering this bird was nearly extinct!


Here are 8 bald eagles perched in the nearby trees.





The eagles fly around the dam and catch fish as they pass through the dam.
