Ice on the backwaters, bald eagles and snow ... all are great Signs of Winter in Alma, Wisconsin and the local area. Can you think of others? It's been mild as we enter the winter season. There are lots of nature viewing opportunities, so step out your door and enjoy the season.
BALD EAGLES Where are the Bald Eagles this year?
Bald Eagles can be seen flying overhead and are widely dispersed throughout Buffalo County and the Mississippi River valley. The warm start to winter and little snow cover has changed their winter behavior and they are not congregating below Lock & Dam #4 in Alma. We'll keep you updated if the visible count increases.

Volunteers at Wings Over Alma were treated to a tour of Lock & Dam #4 ... it was a great day and many thanks to Jody for all of the info!

Daily count of wintering bald eagles. Great opportunity to see bald eagles below Lock & Dam #4 from the viewing deck of Wings Over Alma and the convenience of our heated Nature Center.
