There are at least a dozen Bald Eagles at Lake Manawa today. Not sure how much longer this ice will hold on though. with a couple warm days and wind it might disappear. After spending more time there, probably closer to two dozen. None at Dodge Park. Yeah, I counted at least 20 there this afternoon.
