Eagle Watching in Illinois

Come to Alton, Illinois to see American Bald Eagles in their natural habitat.  Every January, experts anticipate nearly 1,000 eagles will migrate to the region, many reclaiming their winter nests along the Great River Road from Alton to Grafton and Pere Marquette.  Plan your own eagle watching adventures or take advantage of eagle watching tours and meet & greets taking place through the month of March.  Download the Eagle Watcher's Guide or click here to have an Eagle Watcher's Guide sent to your home.
