EAGLE WATCH Sarah Ford for Shaw Media
Avery Garner, 11, and her mom, Beth Garner, of Stillman Valley, peek through binoculars to watch the bald eagles at Lock & Dam 13 in Fulton on Saturday, Jan. 21, during the 39th annual Bald Eagle Watch. Rangers from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers were stationed on the platform with viewing scopes, and up to 50 eagles were spotted at the dam. The Garners recently moved to Illinois from Texas and they enjoyed the viewing experience with friends who used to live in Thomson. More photos on page 3.
