bald eagles near Brownsville MN 653A8944
Besides the sensational tundra swan show, the Upper Mississippi River is one of the best spots in the lower 48 States to see bald eagles now in the winter. I counted at least 60 bald eagles sitting in those trees on an island in the Mississippi River, and if my lens was wider that number could have easily doubled. Similar sights can be seen for many miles up and down the river, including at Pool Slough by New Albin IA. You can see the town of Stoddard, Wisconsin on the far shore two miles away.
