Missouri Department of
Conservation
Eagle Days.........
From December through February, Missouri's winter eagle watching
is spectacular. Discover nature with the Missouri Department of
Conservation (MDC) through Eagle Days events around the state,
or enjoy eagle viewing on your own.
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 great 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
ST. LOUIS: Jan. 19 and 20 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Old Chain
of Rocks Bridge south of I-270 off Riverview Drive in St. Louis.
Call 314-301-1500 for more information
CLARKSVILLE: Jan. 26
from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Jan.
27 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Lock and Dam 24 and Apple
Shed Theater in Clarksville. Call 660-785-2424 for more
information.

Executive Director Dr. Jason King, and perennial favorite
speaker Bryan Hopkins.
Adventure Speaker:
Bryan Hopkins will deliver his talk "Where the Rivers are Still
King: Paddling the Confluence of the White, Arkansas and
Mississippi Rivers."
Safety Speaker:
Paul C. Rhode will present information on how to safely coexist
with barges. Learn what the tow captains wish you knew about
paddling on the rivers that they travel.
Community, History and Perspective Speaker:
Last year was the first for a speaker on history and the topic
was so popular that the trend continues this year. Dr. Jason
King will present his new research on old civilizations along
the Illinois River.
If you have never toured a lock and dam, please come early for
our exclusive tour of this engineering marvel at 2p.m. The
speakers begin at 3p.m. and continue to 6 p.m. when we will
adjourn. Many of us will head to the Bluff City Grill after the
speakers for food, drink, and comradery. While we will provide
light refreshments at the museum during the breaks, you will be
on your own for food at the restaurant.
