Today I saw my first up close Bald Eagle! This is 02/13/10, by the rest area on I-29 near Glenwood, Ia. He was sitting on a road sign just off the edge. He, or, she was beautifull!!

My husband and I went in search of Bald Eagles today.....we drove down around Monticello, Iowa and during the course of the day (a total of about 5 hours) we saw a total of about 90 Bald Eagles. At one point we saw a group of about 45 of them and again later saw another group of about 30. The trees they were sitting in were about half a mile from the road so my photo's are not as clear as I'd have liked......but did get some ok ones. Later on our drive east of Independance on Highway 20, we saw another group of about 6. Those were sitting in trees right off of Highway 20. Maybe about 40 yards away from us. It was wonderful to see so many of the beautiful birds.

We saw seven bald eagles today, one checking out an old nest site with a partner near by in a tree, three, including an young one in a tree, and two more in the air. This was 195th St at Eaton Ave, north of Scranton, IA, along the Raccoon River.

I have seen 18 or more eagles in a field for the last several days. The location is south of Oxford, Iowa on Black Hawk Avenue. There's a small stream that runs through this field. And I know that the farmer spread manure on this field last week. I'm not sure what the attraction is. But it's breath taking to see so many.

Eagles have been scarce along the Cedar River in South West Cedar Rapids. I have photos of two - one in a tree by the river - the other along Otis road a good 2 miles from the river.

1/24/10 Where have all the eagles gone? We haven't seen nearly as many this year as last. We watch them in the SE corner of Iowa. Last year when the ice was breaking up we stood at Riverview Park in Fort Madison, IA and counted to 50 or more. Mostly sitting on the edge of open pools of water in the river. Along The Mississippi River Road from Montrose to Keokuk we could count that many again. In Victory Park in Keokuk, IA, we could see over 100, also sitting on the edge of the ice.
Today, we saw none in Fort Madison, 2 in the Montrose and fewer than a dozen along river road. From Victory Park we only spotted 2. The count was higher last month but not much.
The weather is above freezing today. The Mississippi river is open water below Lock #19 and the ice is broken up above the dam at Montrose and Fort Madison. The water is up some.
The yearly eagle count is January 30. Maybe then we will know whether they have just gone to a different area.
There doesn't seem to be any shortage of geese or sea gulls.

I saw 5-6 Bald Eagles on 1/11/2010 and 1/14/2010. The sighting was in Iowa City, IA on the Iowa river between the Burlington St. bridge and the Iowa Avenue bridge.

January 10, 2010, in southeast Iowa City, Iowa, we saw one American Bald Eagle soaring through the small wetlands behind our house then eating it's prey in our neighbor's tree. We are used to small birds, geese, ducks and the occasional hawk, but, this is the first eagle we've seen.

12/13/09 We saw 9 eagles roosting in one tree today in Victory Park, Keokuk, IA. There are enough eagles around the area now that any visitor would surely get to see one. If you were lucky you might be welcomed into town by one swooping down toward your car when you are on the highway. Especially if you come in across the Illinois-Mississippi bridge. Or you might see some eagles flapping or soaring around.
Some roost in the bare trees. Look for a big bird sized blob in the trees, especially those along the bank in Victory Park. If it isn't a loose leafy squirrel nest or a stray Wal-Mart bag, then it is probably is an eagle.
After the river begins to freeze, eagles can be seen sitting on the edge of the ice beside open water. We saw some there today. They like to ice fish. If they are sitting near the opposite bank, they may just appear as a black dot. I have seen the most eagles when the ice is breaking up for spring.
There are other big birds here too. Lots of sea gulls, geese, ducks and some white pelicans and a few herons. There's always something going on at the river below Lock & Dam 19.

Spotted 2 bald eagles yesterday, 12-12-09, near the Nishnabotna River, Hastings Iowa, 51540 - Mills County in Southwest Iowa.
This was the first I have seen here since last winter.

MANY (50+) eagles in the Burlington area flying south along the Mississippi river last Thursday 12/10.

Sunday Dec. 6th. We were cutting wood in the timber in Harrison County (194th and Laredo). We had a mature Bald Eagle about a 100 yards from us all day long. He feed on the remains of a deer. He would feed for awhile then roost in the tree for awhile then come back and feed again. He was a very mature eagle very large in size. He was beautiful to watch soar on the wind currents than come in a land so graceful. He strutted around the deer and watch us for a very long time. We saw him the Thursday before also flying we never saw him land.
Sandy Royer
I and my husband were driving along the Des Moines River in Keosaqua,Iowa 12/5/09 and saw two eagles flying near the rapids on the river! Evidently they are slowly coming back to our area now that colder temps have arrived too!

Last weekend at Geode State Park just west of Burlington I saw a mature and a immature bald eagle fly over the lake together.

Iowa. November 15, 2009. On this day we spotted 5 eagles in one of the bare trees along the Mississippi river bank in Victory Park in Keokuk, IA. I expect to see more and more until about January. You Eagle Lovers might want to participate in Eagle Days in Keokuk, IA on January 16-17 of 2010. Go to http://www.keokukiowatourism.org/eagledays.htm and read about it. It is a popular yearly event in this area.

We spotted a bald eagle roosting in one of the tall bare trees along the Mississippi river in Victory Park in Keokuk, IA today. It was just below the new Keokuk bridge and Lock #19. They can be seen roosting here all winter at just about any time of day. There will be more and more of them until the river thaws in the spring and they migrate again.
Val Root, Fort Madison, IA
10/30/09 Spotted another large bald eagle near Montrose, IA on the old hwy 61. It was on the ground in the middle of a large field. That is the second one we have seen already this year. The other one was on Oct. 14 a little farther north but still in Lee County, IA.
Valeria Root, Fort Madison, IA
10/14/09 - We saw an American bald eagle this afternoon. Not along the river but along a local hwy. in Lee County, Iowa. (Which is as far as you can be South in Iowa.) It was a few miles from the river. We came over a hill and caught this large bird feasting on a roadkilled house cat. I thought at first it was a turkey hawk but when it became airborne, we could clearly see the majestic white head and white tail. Then it circled arund and came back and sat in a tree nearby where we watched it for awhile until it flew away. There was no doubt that it was an Eagle.
Normally in this area, we only see eagles after the Mississippi River freezes over and they leave in the spring soon after it thaws. Are there some that don't migrate in the spring because they are too young or too old?
Valeria Root, Fort Madison, IA (in Lee County)
We live in Irvington, Iowa which is just a few miles south east of Algona, Iowa. We have a large open area just west of our house where there is a deer carcus. We have seen many Bald Eagles feeding from this. At one time we counted up to 11! We are amazed that there are that many around here. We have seen a few flying along the tree tops over the Des Moines River on a dailey basis.
Pat Lauck
I saw at least 50 mature bald eagles in a tree and farm field south of Cascade Iowa 2/6/08. All seemed to be getting along with no real visible food source other than corn stubble.
John Burns
I live in the far west portion of Sioux City, Iowa with the Big Sioux River located about 100 yards to the west of my back yard. For the last several winters (as of January, 2009) a mature bald eagle has chosen a nearby cottonwood tree as its frequent perching location. Since I have always been facinated by birds and raptors in particular, it has been a thrill to be able to closely observe this magnificent creature in its natural habitat from the comfort of my house. I have also been able to capture some special eagle moments with a video camera by shooting from inside through a window and sliding glass door. However, no photo can capture the feeling of seeing a bald eagle with your own eyes.
Connie Jones
1 Bald Eagle was sighted on Hwy 71 - 2 miles north of Hwy 175. Sac County, Iowa.
Maren Smith
Just yesterday my son and I were getting out of the car when we got home and a very large bald eagle landed inthe large tree right beside the house. At first it was really neat but after about thirty seconds of him starring at us I started to feel a little uncomfortable. We stood there and talked to him and he acted like we were boring him. I ran into the house and got the camera and just as I was getting it focused he got up and flew away. He was so close I could see the hook on his beak! Very beautiful and majestic. We live in the country, in Benton county Iowa. I've been seeing alot of them lately but none as close as the last. Quite an experience.
Cory and Kelly VanDeusen
I live in southeast Iowa about 50 miles west of the Mississippi River. Several Bald Eagles can be seen now (January) along the Des Moines River in Wapello and Van Buren Counties.
This weekend, 6 adults and 1 juvenile (as near as I could tell) were in Jefferson County, miles from any water other than farm ponds. There is a dead white-tail deer in a field near the tree where they were roosting. I have several photos of them. Also, about 2 miles from this area, I live on a farm and saw one fly over the house yesterday (Sunday, Jan. 25) In the last few years I have also seen several sitting in a cornfield just north of highway 92 in Keokuk County, Iowa, too far away to photograph, or to tell if they were feeding, resting or even if they were adult or juvenile in some cases.
If you have any questions or need more information than I have given you, please contact me either through this email (I work for the Fairfield Daily Ledger newspaper as staff photographer), or at my home email address: jg441157j5x@iowatelecom.net

Saturday 11/15/08 We saw our first bald eagle of the season/year flying above the Nishnabotna River in Southwest, Iowa (Mills County), near the town of Hastings.
Very exciting! Hope it decides to hang around for the winter.

11/16/08 - Today we spotted our first Bald Eagle of the season soaring over the Mississippi River right out from Victory Park in Keokuk, IA. That is the furtherest SE city in the state. We also saw a bunch of sea gulls, a flock of tame geese, mallards & mud hen ducks and a group of pelicans there. Seems there haven't been many birds along the river here since the floods earlier.

While on our way to Spencer Iowa we seen 6 large birds 4 with white heads and tale feathers sitting in a on county road B53 two miles west of M27We stopped and took a better look and realized that they were bald eagles this was March 7th 2008 and seen 10 on the 14th in the same area.

My girlfriend and I were coming in to Sibley from the East and noticed a large bird flying above the Sibley, IA Central Park. As we got closer we recognized it as a Bald Eagle. Both of us are bird freaks and were pretty thrilled. It flew south and we lost sight of it. Just wanted you to know.
Gertie Chapman & Linda Obbink
I am so excited, I have seen my first Bald Eagle. My husband and I were a half mile north of Ashton, IA. We saw some large bird flying and beings that I am a bird freak, as my husband puts it, he said I'll bet it's a Bald Eagle. To my delight, and his, whether he'll admit it or not, IT WAS. It was alone but how beautiful. Ashton is in Osceola county.

Iowa - 16Feb 08 -Red Rocks Lake/Dam outside of Pella Iowa. Just south of the dam spillway my wife and I spotted 10-15 eagles, some soaring, about 9 in one tree, and one actually swooped down and caught a fish in front of all of us. There were probably 10-20 people walking around on the trails, and fishing on the banks. The eagles didn't seem to care as they continually flew overhead. Of the 10-15 we saw, only 5 or 6 had the white head and tail. The rest were the young "eaglets" with the expected patterns.
18Feb 08 - Saylorville Lake/Dam outside of Des Moines Iowa. Just south of the dam spillway I spotted 4-5 eagles over the Des Moines River... 3-4 of which were mature, one "eaglet." I then drove south and parked just east of the Des Moines River (the biketrail parking lot) off of 66th street just outside of Johnston. About 1 minute later a mature bald eagle flew right over head, traffic and all....spectacular.

January 11, 2008: We spotted 1 eagle flying, 1 in a tree and a few on the ice. Along The Great River Road between Keokuk and Montrose Iowa, which goes near the Missippi River we spotted 1 eagle flying, 1 in a tree and a few on the ice.
At Keokuk, from Victory Park, which is a few blocks below Lock 19, we spotted 4 birds roosting in the trees. This is the fartherest point in SE Iowa.

We sighted our first bald eagle today. It was resting in a tree along highway 62 just north of Montrose in SE Iowa. We were near enough to get a good look at it. It was definitely a bald eagle.
This road runs fairly close to the Mississippi River.
There will be more.

Place: Des Moines River below the Red Rock Dam near Pella, Iowa.
Date: Jan 30, 2007
Number: 20 to 25 seen.
Date: Friday, Feb 17, 2007
Number: 5-7 adults, 5 Juveniles seen.
These eagles are skidish of people standing or walking about and will
quickly move up or down river. Most often they roost in the trees on
the west side of the river so view them from the east side.

Today we were driving in Cedar Rapids near the Indian Creek Nature Center on Otis Road and saw 40 to 50 Bald Eagles flying very high in the air. Most of them were juveniles. We were quite a bit away from the water, mostly prairieland around us, but they seemed to be playing in the air. They would fly up to one another briefly to kind of check each other out then fly away again. There were more nearby perched in the trees. It was amazing to see so many birds in one area. They seemed to be coming from everywhere. It was also nice to be able to see them so close, we got many good views from below as they flew over the car.

We took a drive today to check out the eagles. We use only the naked eye.
From Fort Madison, IA, Riverview Park, which is along the Mississippi River, there have been a lot of eagles the past week or two. The river is mostly frozen with some open pools of water. Today, I counted 30 eagles sitting out on the ice. More were flying around and a few were in the trees along the bank. It was reported in our local newspaper a few days ago that a 1 legged eagles was seen here. There was even a picture.
Further down the river along Highway 61 at Linger Longer park the water was complete frozen over and we saw no eagles.
Further downriver between Montrose, IA, and Rand Park at Keokuk, IA, we saw several sitting on the ice wherever there was any pools of water, a few were roosting in the trees and more flying around.
However, at Keokuk, IA, from Victory Park there was lots and lots of eagles. Never saw so many. That is just below the Mississippi river bridge and Lock & Dam #19. The water was open down the middle with ice still along the Illinois bank. I could see them sitting on the ice at the waters edge on that side. I counted more than 100 as we drove along the park. Must have been a distance of 1/2 mile. They were every few yards, either sitting along or in groups of 2 or 3. There were a few in the trees and more flying around. We were looking with the naked eye, as always. It wasn't really possible to get an accurate count. There were a lot of sea gulls flying around too, so at a distance it was sometimes to see which was which.
We continued driving south into Missouri on Hwy. 136 and turned off at Alexandria, Missouri. We drover over the levee to a restaurant called the Purple Cow. This is just a few miles downriver from Keokuk. The water was completely frozen over. We saw no eagles.
We turned off on Hwy 61, took Bus. Hwy 61 which goes along the river to check out the eagle population in Canton, Missouri.
Below the Lock & Dam there the water was completely open and there were a lot of eagles flying but few to be seen. No ice for them to sit on. Straight across the river we could see at least 4 in one tree on the other side. However looking downriver as far as we could see there was ice again and we could see some little specks on the other side that were eagles. They look like specks or black blobs from far away.
This is the first year I have eagle watched. I have come to the conclusion that the best time and place to see them is when the river is frozen over but there is some open water. They like to sit on the ice around the pools or by themselves quite a distance from the pool. We also find a lot of ducks, geese and sea gulls where there are pools of open water in the ice.
Valeria Root, Fort Madison, Iowa
I live in Cedar Rapids, IA and my husband loves bald
eagles well I had read that bald eagles could be found
here and i wanted to get some pictures. So we went
looking to see if we could find some. Well we had
success, We found about 6 to 8 bald eagles out here in
Cedar Rapids near the Roller Dam. I am really glad
that we saw them but it was getting dark by the time
we got close enought to get good pictures. So we are
going back tomorrow to get better pictures.
Amber Chapman
In northeast Iowa, eagle sightings are almost common. Two weeks ago we saw
roughly 10 at the Mississippi River bridge from Marquette to Prairie du
Chien, and that was before it got cold. My favorite place to watch is
Guttenberg at the Lock and Dam - if the river is frozen it's not uncommon to
see 50 or more. The first time I went I was in total awe. Since then I make
a couple of trips per year to the river.
John Jensen
Montrose, Iowa. January 17, 2007.
I saw 35 eagles roosting in the trees along the Great River Road between Keokuk and Montrose. Most often they were 3 to 5 in groups of about 5 to 20 feet apart in one tree or 2 adjacent trees. There were more soaring over the Mississippi river which we didn't count. The river was mostly iced over just above Lock & dam 19 and open water below. That is a prime area for seeing these majestic birds in the winter. A few of them did not have the white head. Were they golden eagles? They were roosting with the white headed ones.
Valeria Root
My name is Brant Mutch and I live in Des Moines, Iowa. I spent the afternoon with the family looking for Bald Eagles. We spotted 2 mature Bald Eagles and 3 immatures on Salorville Lake near Jester Park. This is where we have seen
Bald Eagles in the past.
I saw 7 bald eagles sitting on a tree together off of Route 67 on the west side of the street just north of Lock and Dam #14 just north of
Bettendorf, Iowa. This is my first time seeing bald eagles in the wild.
It was awesome. After I saw my initial 7, I started to notice quite a
few of them flying around the river banks on both sides of the
Mississppi. A woman at the Iowa visitor's center off of Interstate 80
mentioned that they congregate quite often around Lock's #14 and 15 over
the winter when the river fills up with ice. I'm going back with my
father and some friends soon.

I've spent several hours at Carter Lake in IA by Eppley Airport the past few days taking pictures of, and just watching in awe as these birds feed. My wife counted 28 Eagles roosting in the trees at one point. I've attached a few pictures I took this weekend. Courtesy Larry Hefling
My family and I just returned from several hours of watching bald eagles roost, soar, and fish at Carter Lake, IA, which nestled right next to Eppley Field airport in Omaha NE. It was an awesome sight to see these majestic birds fly. I wish every American could get a chance to see them as it was our first time ever in the wild and a most memorable event. The white heads were quite distinctive and we were surprised at how far away you could actually see them due to that contrasting color compared to their dark bodies. We had a great time admiring the eagles and thought them stunning. Courtesy of Mr. Henson
We see about 250 bald eagles a year here on the des monines river in Iowa. Its a great sight to see. Courtesy of Heath Heemsbergen
I saw a bald eagle flying along US Interstate 280 on Christmas Day. We have a US Army Lock and Dam along the Mississippi, here, and in January, there are hundreds of young and mature eagles preying on the fish as they churn through the lock. Courtesy of Molly Cantrell-Kraig
I live in Southwest Iowa, about 25 miles south of Omaha, Nebraska and Council Bluffs, Iowa.
My family owns a 30 acre lake which is just a few miles south of my house. The depth of the lake is extremely low due to the drouth. Because of this there are 100's of dead fish along the bank. Although I have seen some some bald eagles in the past few years around the lake, this past Monday,March 8th was a day to remember. We took a picture of 23 adult and immature bald eagles sitting in a tree and at the same time there were at least the same number of eagles on the lake. It was something to behold that many eagles sitting in one tree. We have eagles coming through each year following the geese.
