Wabasha , MN Eagles

I was on a business trip in the Midwest earlier this week. Wabasha, MN is home of The National Eagle Center. Unfortunately  it is  not open on Tuesday's. The Minnesota DNR was extremely helpful with information locating Bald & Golden Eagles.
Reads Landing in Wabasha was the place to be on this afternoon. I counted 29 Bald Eagles. The Mississippi River stays open in this area  all winter which attracts the eagles .

What A Place To Visit !!
There are eight eagles in this picture. Can you find them all?
During the afternoon there were typically 5/6 eagles soaring and landing on the ice.
I did get to see one Golden Eagle in White Water WMA . It was about a 25 minute ride from the Mississippi River.
The photo above shows the area where the Golden Eagle was seen.
