BALD EAGLE WATCHING DAYS
To Go Virtual!
Sponsors of Bald Eagle Watching Days are planning to go virtual in January 2021.
Though eagles might concentrate in groups in winter, with the likely continuation of Covid-19, people should not. In lieu of gathering, plans are underway to develop virtual programming and events featuring the wintering bald eagles in the Sauk Prairie area.
“Bald eagles will concentrate along the Lower Wisconsin River, including the Sauk Prairie area, throughout the coming winter months,” said Jeb Barzen, president of Ferry Bluff Eagle Council. “Our planned virtual programming will feature eagles along the Wisconsin River, provide experts to answer your questions and show eagle watchers how they can safely visit the area and see the birds themselves.”
Details and links to the virtual events and programs will be made available before the Bald Eagle season begins in January.
Bald Eagle Watching Days are co-sponsored by Ferry Bluff Eagle Council, the Sauk Prairie Area Chamber of Commerce, the Wisconsin Dept. of Natural Resources, and Tripp Museum in Prairie du Sac.
