This winter, hundreds of bald eagles will migrate to Utah in search of food. Thus, it will be possible to see the favorite bird of the United States in February in Salt Lake City.
The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR) reported that the organization will organize three viewing events throughout the state to mark the occasion. This was reported by Yahoo News.
It is noted that the events will be held in the southern, central, and northern parts of Utah, during which everyone will be able to learn more about these birds. Eagles can be seen from special places where optical scopes will be installed for observation, but those wishing to see the birds are advised to take their own binoculars.
Where and when the events will take place:
- at Rush Lake Ranch in southern Utah at 9000 North Minersville Highway (State Route 130) on Friday, February 2, from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM.
- at the Fountain Green State Fish Hatchery in central Utah at 1450 West 24950 North in Fountain Green on Saturday, February 3, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM;
- at DWR's George S. and Dolores Dore Eccles Wildlife Education Center at 1157 South Waterfowl Way in Farmington on Saturday, February 17, from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM.
Additional locations where bald eagles can be seen (as reported by DWR):
- In trees along the Weber River, near Croydon, and just below Echo Reservoir.
- Willard Bay Reservoir, west of Willard. Eagles are often seen in the trees near the reservoir.
- Compton's Knoll on the Salt Creek Waterfowl Management Area, west of Corinth. You can observe bald eagles and other wildlife from the Compton's Knoll observation deck on the south side of the WMA. The rest of the WMA is closed to the public.
- Ouray National Wildlife Refuge is located in Randlett, Uintah County.
