Eagle Days are upon us once again

JEFFERSON CITY - From December through February, Missouri's winter eagle watching is spectacular. The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) is holding various Eagle Days events around the state and local sites can also be attended for eagle viewing at anytime.

Because of the state’s big rivers, many lakes, and abundant wetlands, Missouri is one of the leading lower 48 states for bald eagle viewing. Each fall, thousands of these birds migrate south from their nesting range in Canada and the Great Lakes states to hunt in the Show-Me State.

Eagles take up residence wherever they find open water and plentiful food. More than 2,000 bald eagles are typically reported in Missouri during winter.

In the lake area, Lake of the Ozarks at Bagnell Dam Access, east of Bagnell is a popular place to view the birds along with nearby Truman Reservoir west of Warsaw.

For those who want more information and a close up of eagles, the MDC is offering Eagle Days events around the state.

Eagle Days Events

MDC Eagle Days events include live captive-eagle programs, exhibits, activities, videos, and guides with spotting scopes.
