Thank you, Dennis, for a great report on where to see eagles in PDC!<\/p>\n
Last evening there were over 200 Bald Eagles roosting in the normal
\nmigration roost site near the Barn Restaurant north of Prairie du Chien
\non Cty Rd K.\u00a0 This roost is in the tree line west of the dry docked tow
\nboat south of the restaurant.\u00a0 Very little open water was present for
\nfeeding activity.\u00a0 The small spring and open water at the Winneshiek
\nMarina had 12 White Pelicans that were feeding on the few dead shad seen
\nfloating at that location. With the expected rise in the Mississippi
\nRiver water level, because of rain and snow melt, open water should be
\npresent around the edges of Gremore Lake.\u00a0 The water level was at 9.5
\nfeet Wed. This morning it is at 11 feet and is expected to go to 17 feet
\nby Tues or Wed.\u00a0 Water goes over the Ambro Road on the north side of
\nGremore Lake at 13.4 feet.\u00a0 With that amount and volume of water river
\nice will be moved, or at least raised .\u00a0 More open water where eagles
\ncan feed on dead shad will be present.\u00a0\u00a0 Other sloughs in and around
\nPrairie du Chien are starting to open as well.\u00a0 If the eagles and
\npelicans move to Gremore Lake as they have in the past the best location
\nto see the birds is from the riverside parking lot of the Crooked Oar
\nBar and Restaurant.\u00a0 In the past 3 years over 500 eagles were seen on
\nand near Gremore Lake during the migration stop over they make during
\nmid-March.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
