2017 Lake of the Ozarks Eagles Days

Because of the big rivers, many lakes and wetlands, Missouri is the nation's leading bald eagle states. During the winter months, eagles migrate and congregate near open waters in tall trees to spot prey and night roosts for sheltering, which makes Lake of the Ozarks the perfect place to see the nation's bird. Ameren Missouri's Eagle Days is one of the most popular winter events at the Lake of the Ozarks, and this year's event takes place January 7 & 8. Your Lake of the Ozarks REALTOR has all the details on the 2017 Eagle Days.
