It was by accident that my husband and I discovered eagles at Milford Lake. Being nature lovers and having two dogs that need a lot of exercise, we have been visiting the lake frequently since moving to Kansas in June of 1999. It was in January, 2000 that we saw our first wild eagles. By the time we figured out that we were seeing eagles they were already leaving the area. I'm anxiously awaiting January to come around again -- I will be better prepared knowing what I am looking for.
There is no thrill quite like seeing eagles in the wild. I imagine what this land used to be like when eagles were abundant and it must have been such a marvelous sight.
