The best time of year to see America’s national bird in the state of Utah is almost here. Typically hundreds of bald eagles arrive in Utah by the month of February and many of them end up in the northeastern portion of the state. There will not be any formal bald eagle viewing events this February 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 of the locations, 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. Your safety, and the safety of other motorists, comes first. Visit wildlife.utah.gov for more information.
