Lake Guntersville and Eagle Awareness


Back in the fall, we spent a Saturday at Lake Guntersville. We enjoyed our favorites... the playground, looking for deer, looking at the lake and having a nice lunch.




While enjoying our lunch, we noticed that the balconies were set up for two weddings, one on each flower (scheduled for an hour apart).  We explored briefly, but left so that the chairs could remain in perfectly aligned rows.





A highlight of the day was when Grace pointed out an American Eagle.  Sure enough, she spotted a large eagle in flight, and that sent her birdwatching hobby into overdrive. She made sure bird books and an bird whistle were on her Santa list, and she has been scouring her books for bird facts.



Recently, Grammie and the duo spent a weekend at the lodge to enjoy their Eagle Awareness program. They got to see a large eagle's nest and see lots of eagles in flight and in the nest.  She also has many birds to enumerate in her birdwatching log.

February is an active month for eagles, and the state park is continuing its program throughout February. The program is free so be sure to check it out.
