Quad Cities is a Winter Resort for Eagles

​Each winter when the weather turns cold, the Quad Cities area serves as host to a large majority of bald eagles making their annual southern migration from Canada to the unfrozen waters of the Mississippi River.  The Quad Cities celebrates over 50 years of bald eagle education in the area.
 
Residents and visitors alike look to the skies to watch the eagles, easily identified by the white feathers of their heads and tails and their immense wingspans.  A symbol of freedom and strength, and once on the brink of extinction, the bald eagles regularly awe visitors who line the banks of the Mississippi River on crisp, clear winter mornings.
