Eagle Migration Through Eastern Iowa

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa bird watchers will again be able to spot bald eagles this winter as they visit in search of warmer weather.

Thousands of bald eagles cross Iowa each winter as they migrate south.

Wildlife experts say any location that offers open water where the eagles can hunt is likely to offer a good chance to see bald eagles.

An eagle watching event will also be held at North Central Junior High on February 7th.

Conservation efforts have helped the bald eagle population rebound nationwide over the past several decades.
