GUNTERSVILLE STATE PARK
Today Charlie and I traveled to Guntersville State Park to see the eagles.
We had a great time as we headed out about 8:30 AM and headed north on Hwy 72 towards Huntsville, AL..
We went 231/431 from Huntsville towards Guntersville. On our first stop...We turned right at the sign that said Guntersville Dam.
We went about 3-4 miles and take a fork to the right (towards the boat launch) ...then look on the right for a small gravel pull off. Walk out the little open area...there is a eagles nest high in a pine tree on the right. There is a picture of this nest below.

After we visited the nest site, we went to the boat launch and seen the bird
nested in the tree.
We have been there on numerous occasions and saw different eagles fly overhead. Below are a few photographs I made of one flying.
The Guntersville Lodge is an awesome place to stay also and has some cool displays.

We had a good time together today exploring the many wonderful animals that God has put on this earth. I did the driving and Charlie and I took time about doing the photography.
This is a great trip to take for the entire family. If you have children this is a VERY educational trip.
