This isn't about bike riding, but...
We are planning a weekend trip out to the McBaine area, Eagle Bluffs conservation area this winter to hopefully get some photos of eagles in the wild. Wondering if anyone has had any luck spotting eagles in the area, knows of the best place to see them, etc.

This isn't about the McBaine area, but....we were in Hermann a couple of days last week and asked while checking into the B&B if anyone had been seeing eagles along the river. Unfortunately, no one had....or they didn't know what to look for. While standing on the deck, we saw three immatures working the river on Tuesday morning. I guess some folks don't recognize them unless they are mature.

Squaw Creek Wildlife Refuge north of you is usually a good eagle viewing area. We saw 15 to 20 on Sunday, just south of there along the river bluffs near White Cloud, KS.
