40 Eagles in 1 view

Why I love the Mississippi River and pool 4. I walked down to the river in front of our house and the ice was cover with eagles. By the time I got back with the camera most of them moved into the trees on the island. The picture is limited by our point-and-shoot camera but by zooming I count 40 eagles in one frame. The one tree has 19 in it. We’ve also got a pile of ducks and a hand full of swans out there.

Nice John!

I was at the eagle look out a number of year ago. Took the video camera along and capture a eagle nailing a fish in the water. When I put it on the computer at home, I looked at the trees in the background (across the river) and there was a HUGE amount in the trees. Never saw them when I was there.

The Winona area is totally awesome for eagle viewing all year, but it’s amazing in the winter!

gotta love that area. nice pic

here in the QC they are all over the place. i love it. i counted 60 on the rock river heading in Milan the other day.

That is one of the reasons I love to fish the river in Feb/Mar/April – there are so many eagles it is awesome. I think a lot of folks in our area take them for granted and every year I try to remind myself how fortunate we are to have them in such great numbers to see them all the time.

Thanks for sharing
