Saw three today at Squaw Creek Game Refuge (built in the 1930s as a WPA project) in NW Missouri where I was volunteering for Family Day (part of my volunteer activity as a Missouri Master Naturalist).
We saw one loan bald eagle and in a matter of a few moments a pair. Confirmed via telephoto lense.
I look forward to Eagle Days there in early December. The refuge has 4 nests 3 of which are occupied every year. One pair has returned to the same nest for many years.
Exciting for me as I had not seen Bald Eagles for a long time.
Golden Eagles are observed there frequently.
For those of you unfamiliar with it, at the peak in winter it has numbers in the millions of Canada Snow Geese and is awesome to see. I missed the peak last year as they had left (going North), but a huge storm arose up North and several hundred thousand returned
