Terrific shots!! I haven't been to L&D 15. I need to make another road trip! I was at L&D 13 a couple days ago, and there were well over a hundred eagles there. Love watching them! Thanks for sharing!

Just a bit of warning before you travel. The Mississippi was frozen over from the deep cold. L & D 15 was only place near for open water. It was 68 degrees yesterday and 55 degrees Wednesday. I stopped by yesterday and saw maybe 3 eagles flying. Not worth the trip when it gets warm.

Nice photos! We stopped there last February on our way to Florida and froze my butt off. I did get a few shots but none as good as yours. It’s certainly a nice place to photograph from.

Taken at Lock & Dam 15 in Davenport, Iowa. Last weekend’s extreme cold spell brought the eagles to the L & D in high numbers.
Nice shots.
