This is my favorite spot for Bald Eagles and Waterfowl: http://www.fws.gov/Refuge/Mingo/wild...rd_counts.html

74 Eagles were counted at Mingo two weeks ago (I only saw 15)!
I investigated potential sites on the Mississippi as you suggest.....my primary challenge is finding time. Due to work and family obligations I am limited. You may have noticed 99% of my shots are from my yard. My last out of state birding trip was almost 2 years ago. I really do appreciate your suggestion and I will bookmark that link in hopes of making a trip.
