The Eagles have arrived! Join the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers – St. Louis District for the second annual Eagle Trek, February 4, 2012,
at the Kaskaskia Lock & Dam from 9 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.
Come out for eagle-watching with spotting scopes and meet
some of the feathered inhabitants of the World Bird Sanctuary (9am-noon)! Also,
enjoy short interpreted walks both upstream and downstream from the Dam, and see
the confluence of the Mississippi & Kaskaskia Rivers. Our experts will be
on hand to tell you about other eagle-nesting sites nearby!
