If you've never attended an Eagle Watch, you’re really missing
out! In Indiana, we are fortunate to have several Eagle Watch locations
across the state from Turkey Run to Mississinewa. During these events,
you learn more about eagles, visit roosting sites, and if the conditions are
right, you may see dozens of eagles in one location.
This year, I was fortunate enough to help at the Salamonie Eagle
Watch event on February 2 and 3. I created interactive display/quiz
boards about Bald Eagles to entertain and educate the visitors.
Despite the hazardous road conditions, we had a huge
turnout. We even had some familiar faces: Don and Terri Gorney! The
eagles did not disappoint; dozens of eagles were happy to pose for the
cameras. For up close and personal viewings of Bald Eagles, Zach Walker
from Of Wings of Eagles brought Belle (an education eagle), and Soarin’ Hawk
Raptor Rehab brought Jefferson for his debut as an education eagle.
Be sure to attend an Eagle Watch program. You won’t be
sorry!
