Have you ever seen our national bird, the bald eagle?
Soaring on a 6 to 71/2 foot wing span, these birds are magnificent! It is not necessary to travel all the way to Canada to see these fabulous creatures. Pere Marquette State Park is fortunate to play host to these seasonal visitors. Eagles may be spotted in the tree tops along the Illinois River in the months of December, January, February and March.
