In the drive down HWY 61, between Winona, MN and La Crosse, WI, one can easily see no less than 4 bald eagle nests from the road. There is also another nest in Trempeleua NWR visible from the "Wildlife Drive". Throughout the winter, along the same Winona - LaCrosse drive, one could reliably see bald eagles perched in the trees along the Mississippi River shoreline.
