I have posted about Eagle Days before but thought I would put up another reminder because it is just such a cool event. If you live in the Kansas City area, especially the northern portion, then you might want to consider attending the Eagle Days event at Smithville Lake on Jan. 7 and/or 8. I believe they will have a chance for you to get EXTREMELY close to some bald eagles and maybe even some other impressive raptors.

Christmas Tree Recycling Helps Fish Habitat in St. Louis
If you are cool enough to actually put up a real Christmas tree in your house, then you can do something equally cool when the tree comes down. Folks in the St. Louis area can donate old trees to improve fishing habitat and increase fish populations. Talk about the gift that keeps on giving! Am I right? Self high five on that one!

Lake Jacomo Fishing Dock Moved
No, the lake didn't flood and take a dock downstream...thankfully, The Department of Conservation has moved the fishing dock located near the Lake Jacomo Marina. It is now located near the dam on Liggett Road and in deeper water with less boat traffic. I plan on going to check it out in the next couple of days and will try to post some pictures to give you an idea of its new location. Also, a thought just occurred to me and either I am a genius or the last to get the memo on this and it is probably the latter. Is the word Jacomo a mashup of Jackson County Missouri just like Taneycomo is derived from Taney County Missouri?

Finally, if you want even more outdoors information from around our great state, you can always check out the Missouri Department of Conservation Newsroom. I do, and just look at me! It makes me smarter, better informed, and a little more handsome if I am being completely honest.
