Notes from Dubuque Camera Club meeting on February 2nd, 2015.

7 of us in attendance. Informal discussion was held regarding eagle sightings in the area. There are minimal sightings.

Jennifer mentioned Eagle Tours by the Jo Daviess Conservation Foundation, held February 7 through March 14, Saturdays at 9:00 am:

One of the most spectacular things in nature is seeing an eagle soar over your head or come down to pick a fish out of the water. You have the opportunity to see just that and more during the Jo Daviess Conservation Foundation’s annual Eagle Tours held every Saturday from February 7th to March 14th at the Lost Mound Unit of the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge, just north of Savanna, IL. Tours begin at 9am and reservations are required by calling JDCF at 815.858.9100
