When the winter blues set in this year, it's time to plan a trip to Lake Texoma for the yearly return of the Bald Eagle. The first eagle has been spotted already! Each year from now through February, Lake Texoma serves as host to many Bald Eagles making their annual southern migration from Canada to the unfrozen waters of the south. A symbol of freedom and strength, and once on the brink of extinction, the Bald Eagles regularly awe fishermen on Lake Texoma and the Red River below Denison Dam on crisp, clear winter mornings. These magnificent birds of prey gather along the wooded bluffs of Lake Texoma to spend the winter. The large trees are prime sites for perching and roosting. The waters of the lake and river remain unfrozen, fish is plentiful and old-growth trees provide prime sites for perching and roosting. Residents and visitors alike look to the skies to watch the eagles, easily identified by the white feathers of their heads and tails and their immense wingspans. If you would like
a guided tour, several guide services offer professional 2 to 3 hour Bald
Eagle watching tours on Lake Texoma and the Red River. |
