We were at Mark Twain the weekend of April 30th. I took some pictures of 2 beautiful bald eagles. We sat there for 10 minutes and watched them. We even saw one eagle fly into the nest with a big fish in her claws!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The muddying up of the South Fork! Mark Twain Lake is a flood control lake located in northern Missouri farm land. When the lake is on the rise it can also bring in a lot of muddy water. The pictures below are taken from the South Fork bridge and shows the mud being washed into the lake. The mud slick is more than a 1/2 mile long. August 26, 2004
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- White Pelicans August 19, 2004

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bald Eagles - August 19, 2004
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Twain Sunsets
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This swamp boat looks out of place on this lake, but it is an interesting boat.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There has been one storm front after another coming through the area this spring and summer. Storm clouds make great pictures!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The picture below was taken July 5, 2004. The young are off the nest but still hanging around. In the picture below you can see one of the youngsters perched below and to the left of the nest.
The Bald Eagle family is back on the nest, this nest had triplets raised in it last year. We're looking forward to seeing this years brood grow up.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The picture below is of the South Fork Ramp February 29 2004, showing a channel through the ice. Within 7 hours this ice was completely gone.
The picture below is of the Hwy U Boat Ramp also taken on February 29 2004. You can see where some hardy soul tried breaking through the ice in a john boat. They didn't make it very far before calling it quits.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- One of the lake highlights during 2003 was the Bald Eagle nest and the 3 young eagles raised in it. Here are a few pictures of this impressive nest.
