Wisconsin’s Winter Skies (NAPSA)—Well known for such things as the Green Bay Packers and cheese, Wisconsin is turning heads, and binoculars, for another reason these days. Thanks to abundant winter fishing, Wisconsin is home to the largest population of wintering bald eagles in North America, provid- ing rare opportunities for bird watchers from throughout the country. ——, Sauk City and Prairie du Sac are among the state’s top eaglewatching spots. The waters of the Wisconsin River flowing below the Prairie du Sac dam seldom freeze, makingfish available for the birds. Staffed by volunteers who provide insight into the eagles, the Eagle Overlook in Prairie du Sac offers one of the most spectacular views of the area’s winterresidents. Cassville, located along the Mississippi River, is another popular eagle-watching spot. Top viewing locations include a new wildlife observation deck at Riverside Park and nearby Nelson Dewey State Park.
