February is Bald Eagle month in Utah SALT LAKE CITY — February is the best time of the year to see one of the country’s most iconic birds. Bald Eagles fly to Utah in the winter to find food and escape colder conditions farther north. By the time February arrives, hundreds of eagles are in the state. Eagles can be seen and more learned about them, during Bald Eagle Month. Matt Bartley, special events coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR), says the agency has expanded its former Bald Eagle Day to include several Saturdays of viewing. “Holding viewing events at different times, in different parts of the state, will give folks across Utah the best chance to see the greatest number of eagles,” Bartley says. In the past, the DWR held the event on a single Saturday in February. “On the day we held the event,” he says, “some of the sites had good numbers of eagles while other sites

had fewer birds. In some cases, eagles hadn’t arrived at the sites in good numbers yet. In other cases, they’d already come and gone. Holding

the event on different Saturdays should increase the chance for viewers to see eagles on the day they attend.” Seeing the eagles is free and the following dates and lo- cations have been set: Central Utah, Feb. 10, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Fountain Green State Fish Hatchery, located east of Nephi. Free tours of the Fountain Green State Fish

Hatchery will also be offered. If coming from the north, visitors can reach the hatchery by taking Interstate 15 and exiting the freeway at the second Nephi exit (Exit 225). After exiting the freeway, turn east on state Route 132 and travel about 10 miles. About one mile before the city of Fo u n tain Green, a Bald Eagle Day sign will point to an access road

that leads to the hatchery. After reaching the hatchery, visitors will receive a driving map of the Sanpete Valley that highlights the best areas in the valley to view eagles. Literature, displays and bathroom facilities will also be available at the hatchery.

Spotting scopes will be set-up at a nearby location where eagles often gather in a large tree. The viewing site is about one mile from the hatchery. Northern Utah, Feb. 10, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., Salt Creek Waterfowl Management Area (Compton’s Knoll), located about 10 miles northwest of Corinne. Farmington Bay Waterfowl Management Area, Feb. 10, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., located on the west side of Farmington at 1325 W. Glovers Lane (925 South). The DWR and the Wild About Birds Nature Center in Layton are co-sponsoring the Farmington Bay event. Northeastern Utah, Feb. 24, from 8 a.m. to noon., Ouray National Wildlife Refuge, near the refuge headquarters in Randlett, at 19001 E. Wildlife Refuge Road. The Ouray National Wildlife Refuge and the DWR are co-sponsoring the event. Get a close look Bartley says spotting scopes will be available at each viewing site so viewers can get a good look at the

eagles. “If viewers have any challenges spotting the eagles,” he says, “the DWR biologists and volunteers will help to find them. We’d also be happy to answer any questions people have.” Viewers can also pick up a Bald Eagle Month button. Handouts and information about bald eagles, wildlife watching and birding opportunities in Utah will also be available. The button and information are free. Items to bring When attending any Bald Eagle Day during the month, dress in warm clothes and bring waterproof boots. Also, if interested in taking photos of the eagles, bring a camera with a telephoto lens. “Photographers need a telephoto lens to get good, close-up shots of the eagles,” Bartley says. “The eagles will be fairly close to the viewing sites, but there is still a need for a telephoto lens to get good photos of them.” More information For any questions about Bald Eagle Month, call Division of Wildlife Resources offices in Ogden, Springville, Vernal or Cedar City.
