Eagle Tree





If you get a chance to visit the Ft. Randall Dam this winter, you will be surprised at all of the Bald Eagles that are there.  They are wintering there because it is the only open water in the area where they can fish.  Go below the dam to the "tail race" parking lot.  I took this photo from there of a tree across the water.  There were 14 Bald Eagles in this tree and I counted 50+ Bald Eagles in the area.  The Bald Eagles often fish there and you will also see many ducks and gulls as well.  I think your kindergartener will enjoy it as well as you!  Bring your binoculars and camera!  The Ft. Randall Dam is only 30 miles from town.
