Once again, open water and lots of fish at lake Ogallala, below Kingsley Dam and Lake McConaughy, The National Emblem has returned to western Nebraska, near Ogallala.
On January 15, 2008 I counted over 50 Bald Eagles. Many immature and mature Bald Eagles were seen, soaring, eating fish on the ice and resting in the trees.

We spotted a bald eagle along the Rawhide Creek at highway 36 in Douglas County Nebraska. We happen to have our camera and video camera in the truck and taped it eating some kind of prey.

We went to see family members recently in Lisco, Nebraska. As we drove through town south over the North Platte River bridge, there were around 10 bald eagles eating in the river! What a great sight! Our ten year old son,
Matthew, loves to view them!

On January 8, 2006, I drove to Ogallala Nebraska to do some fishing and hoping to see some of Most beautiful birds on this earth. I was surprised to see over 100 Bald Eagles on Lake McConaughy and Lake Ogallala. Adults and immature Eagles were setting in the trees, on the ice and flying around looking for a fish to eat. Such a beautiful sight to see.
Anyone interested in viewing the Eagles, can contact The Central Nebraska Public Power and Irrigation District. 308-284-2332 They have the Kingsley Dam Viewing Facility on Lake Ogallala. This facility is a great observation point. You can also drive to many locations and observe then from your car.
Have a great day and I hope you enjoy the Eagles, like I have. Its all free!!!!!! Courtesy of Roy U. Cushing, Imperial, Nebraska
I live in Ashland, NE we have three Eagles which roost in trees around the Salt Creek. They have white heads and white tails. We see them every morning and evening. Courtesy of Reginald R. Yates |
