Today on 2/17/08 we took a family trip to the Milford Dam in Junction City, KS. When we arrived we saw 6 Bald Eagles what looked like they were hunting for fish. They would land on the frozen ice and then take flight again. It was a sight to see.

I live in SE. kansas and on any given day i can see bald eagles, not more than a 30min. drive from my home. If you want to see eagles in SE.Ks. just travel to one of these locations. St.Paul, Ks. water refuse east of town. You can drive into the refuse or just drive around the area, and more than likely you will see eagles. One day in Jan. 2007, i counted 28 eagles on the east side of the refuse, in the dead trees out over the water. You can find bald eagles at, Parsons Lake, north of Parsons,Ks., Along the neosho river, east of Oswego, Ks. or the neosho river east of Chetopea, Ks. Other places are Big Hill Lake, east of Cherryvale, Ks., Elk City Lake, N.w. of Independence, Ks., along Elk River north and east of Elk River Lake, and along the Fall River west of Neodesha, Ks. If you could travel up or down any of these rivers, in this area of South East, Kansas, you will more then likely see a Bald Eagle or two. I have seen eagles in all of these locations, from 1 to 28 at a time. I live in Altamont,Ks. on 160 hwy. and i can drive about 2 - 3 miles south of town, and sometimes i will see some eagles on our small city lake. The eagles are out there, you just have to look for them. And please let them have their space, when you see one resting in a tree, its because they need the rest, it takes a lot of energy, to fly, so have fun but give the eagle the respect it deserves.

The Bald Eagles are back again this year in Wichita, KS. The Arkansas River runs right through the middle of town, and they like to hang out at the river right in the middle of downtown to the south of downtown. I went out yesterday, I think I saw a total of 5 different eagles, including a juvenile. I saw three at once sitting in a bunch of trees just staring at the river waiting for a fish. It is amazing, last year they stuck around till sometime in Februray.

I sighted a bald eagle at my rural home in central Kansas, 7 miles east of Herington, to be more exact. Was able to view him with binoculars from my deck, what an unexpected thrill, as I had no idea there were any eagles in this area!

There are lots of Bald Eagles in different lovely locations in KS. Here in Lawrence, KS, we are blessed with many. I did not get to personally witness them feeding this winter, but sightings were said to be as many as
65 diving for fish from a thawed portion of the river. I have seen them,
but never anything like that. You could contact our Chamber of Commerce or
our local Audubon Society for accurate details. Courtesy of Rita Wilson
My name is Kathryn Dowell and I live in Leon, KS. My husband arrived home from work and said he had seen a Bald Eagle south of town. I have been wanting to see one so he took me back to the place where he had seen the Bald Eagle. It was still there. It was a beautiful sight and I feel fortunate to have seen one. 1/29/05
I saw a Bald Eagle today flying near my house which is 4 miles south of Abilene, KS. It was souring beautifully over Hwy 15 and 1800 Ave and I took a moment and stopped my vehicle to watch it as long as I could. This is my first Bald Eagle sighting and I was very delighted, I only wish I would have had a camera with me. A friend of mine told me that she saw 2 sitting in a field off Jeep Rd near Abilene, KS about a year ago.

We live on the Kansas River in DeSoto, Kansas. (between Lawrence and Kansas City) Last weekend (Nov. 3rd) we were able to observe a bald eagle perching on a tree along the river about a quarter mile from our house. It was truly a breathtaking site!
