Eagles locations
|
The American Bald Eagle may be viewed around our area lakes and rivers. Lake
Taneycomo runs through the City of Branson. Downtown on the lakefront is
a great place to view the Eagles in Branson. There are several eagle's
around Shepherd of the Hills Fish Hatchery located below Table Rock Dam.
Other great viewing areas are located at Rockaway Beach, Missouri and the
many resorts located along the lake to the east of Branson.
Table Rock Lake is where you can find the largest concentration of eagles! Many of the Corps of Engineers Campgrounds and area resorts has excellent locations for viewing. From Table Rock Dam all the way to Beaver Dam you can find the American Bald Eagle. Some great viewing locations are located at Kimberling City, Cape Fair, Lampe Baxter and the Shell Knob, Missouri areas. Bull Shoals Lake also has a winter population of Bald Eagles. Starting at Bull Shoals Dam all the way down to the Arkansas State Line eagles are spotted each winter. Some great viewing areas are located at Power Site and Forsyth, Missouri as well as the many Corps of Engineers Campgrounds located along the lake.
The James River located at Galena, Missouri also offers some close up
encounters with the American Bald Eagles.

| Other Types of Birds of Prey to Watch | The American Bald Eagle is not the only birds of Prey you can see during
the winter months! The Golden Eagle can also be seen along our many lakes
and rivers. The Golden Eagle is a dark brown color and when in flight looks
like it has a light colored spot under each wing.

owls, and vultures. Hawks in the Branson Missouri area include the Red-Tailed
Hawk, Sharp Shinned Hawk, Harris' Hawk, and Cooper's Hawk. Owls include
the Barn Owl, Great Horned Owl, Snowy Owl, Barred Owl and the tiny Screech
