There’s still opportunities to see America’s national bird during the peak viewing time in our area. Hundreds of bald eagles make a stop in the northeastern portion of the state during this time of year while they escape winter conditions further north. There will not be any formal bald eagle viewing events but the Division of Wildlife Resources have still shared some tips for those interested in spotting one. A good place to go eagle watching is along the Green River, at the Ouray National Wildlife Refuge in Randlett. Another good spot is at Midview Reservoir, northeast of Bridgeland. You can often see eagles there on the ice hunting waterfowl. If you’re driving and looking for eagles at any location, please do so safely. Don’t drive distracted, and don’t stop in the middle of the road if you see an eagle. Instead, pull completely off the road before viewing. Visit wildlife.utah.gov for more information.
