Natural Flyers - Third Birding Trip Is to Clarksville, MO Along the Mississippi River

By Carmelo Turdo

It is winter once again in the Midwest, and that brings with it large numbers of migrating birds along the waterways of the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers in the St. Louis area. The Aero Experience continues our coverage of these natural flyers in our winter season birding series with a trip to Lock and Dam 24 in Clarksville, MO along the Mississippi River. Here we feature a selection of the nearly fifty bald eagles we observed in just a few hours. We will continue to incorporate more natural flyer posts as we return to Clarksville and visit other popular birding sites over the next several months.
