Wintering Bald Eagles around the city of Keokuk. November thru March with the peak in January. Over 400 Bald Eagles can be seen in the area. Best area around lock and Dam 19, try the riverfront area south of the bridge. Also try the raceway behind the dam from Corp of Engineers headquarters, cross the catwalk to the dam and walk toward the powerhouse.
