During the late fall and winter months, bald eagles flock to Iowa, a warmer home than their summer residences in Alaska and Canada. In Alaska and Canada, the rivers freeze over, so over 1,400 bald eagles follow the river south and spend the coldest months of the year along the Mississippi River between Saint Paul and Saint Louis. The highest percentage live in the area of Keokuk.
Each year US Army Corps of Engineers, Non-game Wildlife programs within the Iowa Department of Natural Resources and Illinois Department of Conservation, Lee County Conservation Board, Keosippi Mall, and The Keokuk Area Convention and Tourism Bureau host Bald Eagle Appreciation Days, the third weekend of January. Thousands of people flock to Keokuk to view firsthand the national symbol of the United States of America in its natural surroundings.
Bald Eagle Appreciation Days feature many free indoor and outdoor programs, including:
• Hourly seminars featuring live Bald Eagles
• Lectures
• Exhibits
• Films
• Special events
• Manned observation areas along the Mississippi Riverfront
• Spotting scopes available
• Conservation officials and biologists on hand for questions
Tips for finding and viewing eagles:
The best time to view eagles is in the early morning when they feed. Eagles can be seen soaring and diving for fish; the colder, the better. When eagles are not feeding, observe them sitting in large, mature trees closer to the river or on river ice near openings. Be sure to bring strong binoculars!
