Top Missouri Spots for Incredible Eagle-Watching

My wife is a fan of eagles which means that I am also a fan of eagles. Every winter, we find a nice spot near the river to watch these magnificent birds hunt and do eagle things. Missouri has many great eagle-watching locations and I've collected quite a few options if you're interested in doing this yourself.

No state rivals Missouri when it comes to prime eagle-viewing locations

The height of eagle activity in Missouri is during the winter months when you'll see them grabbing fish out of the many rivers in the state. Here are a few places in Missouri that offer exceptional eagle watching locations:

• Riverlands Migratory Bird Sanctuary / Audubon Center at Riverlands
• Lock and Dam 25: Situated east of Winfield
• Eagle Bluffs Conservation Area near Columbia, Missouri
• Truman Lake/Reservoir near Warsaw
• Smithville Lake near Kansas City
• Schell-Osage Conservation Area
• Loess Bluffs National Wildlife Refuge
• Table Rock Lake
• Bagnell Dam Access
• Canton, Missouri riverfront
• Lover's Leap in Hannibal
• Riverview Park in Hannibal
• Sandy Island Bald Eagle Sanctuary near St. Louis
• Old Chain of Rocks Bridge in St. Louis
• Mingo National Wildlife Refuge near Cape Girardeau

The months eagles are most active in Missouri are December through February which means now is a prime time to find a spot and behold America's bird in all its glory. As you might imagine considering the name of our radio station, we're big fans of eagles.
