My dad thought that it would be really neat to go to Grafton yesterday to go eagle-watching. Grafton is on the east side of the Mississippi, across from Downtown St. Louis. It's right at the confluence of the Mississippi and Illinois rivers.
There weren't too many eagles to watch though, because it was a bit too cold and in the middle of the afternoon. We first went to Pere Marquette to see what we could over there and there weren't any eagles there either. For the most part all the eagles were hanging out on the bluffs next to the highway. We ended up driving around the main part of the Pere Marquette park and up to this lookout, which turned out to be really nice. There was a trail below the lookout platform that was really nice. I took some pretty nice pictures that I can put up if you want. Please let me know.
--Gotta go set the table for dinner! :) I might add more tomorrow!
