Arkansas
I live in Northwest Arkansas on Beaver Lake in the Lost Bridge Village area.
On Sunday, January 6th, we went out on the lake in our friend's boat to the Indian Creek area. There we counted 44 Bald Eagles! It was magnificent! My first time ever to see an eagle in person!

Franklin County, Arkansas, 1/03/2008. I live about a 1 1/2 miles from where I have been watching appox. 25 bald eagles, I counted 17 adults and the rest were young birds. They come to this area in the winter. They truly are an awesome bird.

We were able to spot a mature adult Bald Eagle today 30 Dec 07. It was at approximately 1200 hrs. The eagle was circling the western-most cove of Lake Maumelle near the interchange of Highway 10 and Highway 113 in Pulaski County, AR. He then flew to the northern side of Highway 10 and it appeared that he perched in a tree. We were unable to locate the bird after that. This is the first sighting I have seen in this area of the state in many years.

I was fortunate enough to see a gorgeous bald eagle this rainy cold day on my farm. I do not live anywhere near a body of water. The eagle was eating entrails from a recently harvested deer. I live in Mammoth Spring, Arkansas.

Recently we have seen several bald eagles here in Logan County, Arkansas. One eagle has made a temporary home around the farms surrounding the Benedictine monastery of Subiaco Abbey in the town of Subiaco. One of the monks, Br.Edward, sighted the eagle perched in a tree in the Abbey's East Park. From that perch it has a vast viewpoint of the surrounding fields.
We have also spotted a pair of bald eagles swooping down over the waters of Cove Lake on the way to Mount Magazine State Park. 2-13-07

I just experienced my first sighting of a Bald Eagle in the wild and it was in my front yard! I live in northeast Arkansas in the Hoxie area near the Black River. and not far from Lake Charles State Park. I was leaving for school January 25 when i backed out of the garage the it was this magnificent Bals Eagle perched in the tree in our front yard. I also saw it two days later gliding just above the gound in a rice field next to our home. My neighbor believes a pair are roosting in his tractor shed. I hope to see it again soon!!

While golfing in Greenwood, Arkansas last Wednesday (12/28/05), we were blessed to see the Bald Eagle flying over hole #12, which is located at the top side of a hill. It's all wooded area, and about a half a mile from Jack Nolan lake. An older gentlemen who was in front of us said the Eagle flies down that particular ridge daily. We couldn't believe what we were seeing. The contrast of black and white on this bird was incredible. Courtesy of Chuck Buckner
The Boy Scouts have built an eagle viewing platform on
this lake in Gentry, Arkansas. This is a good, easily
accessible place to see bald eagles. Here's a link to
a map:

I live in northwest Arkansas on the Kings River. In the middle of January 2002 some friends of mine went canoeing on the Kings River and sighted 90 bald eagles in their 3 hour float. That is a lot for around here. The eagles usually come in November and leave in March or April. I have never seen one here in the summertime. I have photographed some eagles on the river here and enjoy watching them.
Keep up the good work and thanks again. Courtesy of Sara Hodgson
I live in Caulksville Arkansas, as I was leaving to take my daughter to a ballgame yesterday 12/12/2002 about 3 pm. My daughter said mom look at that big bird in that tree over our pond. I was trying to see where she was pointing and then saw the bird then she said it's an Eagle! Wow I sure didn't expect to see an Eagle on our place but we did. I grab my camera and took a photo but it had already started to fly off. I hope the photo turns out.

Just experience my first eagle sighting. Spotted a pair soaring over Bull Shoals Lake in Northern Arkansas this morning. We're located in Northern Marion County about 7 miles from the MO state line, approximately 10 miles from Rt. 125. My husband and I are recent retirees and just moved here in June. The locals have told us of sightings. Don't know enough (yet) about eagles to give you any details, except to say we are thrilled!
