We're going to arrive right around 11, in time for the info session, and I was wondering if we can bring a picnic lunch to eat on site or does anyone have a good recommendation for a nearby place with a picnic table?

I took a look at the Nat'l Eagle Center website under "wild eagle viewing". There is a Viewing Trip scheduled for April 2nd, so my guess is that there will still be plenty of eagles in the vicinity.

There is a lot to do and see in Winona also.
