2008 Eagle Watches
Fire Danger is HIGH!
Please be very careful with open flames or any activity that may cause a spark.
Bald Eagles WINTER at Quartz Mountain
Yes eagles are seen on the eagle watches!
While the naturalist is usually too busy presenting the
program to take photos, every once in awhile that rule is broken.
These photos are typical sightings on an Eagle Watch. The birds were soaring directly over Group Camp just prior to the slide presentation.
This immature eagle was sitting in the Cottonwood trees at the Hicks Mountain boat ramp as we caravaned in. Eventually it flew to the Mesquite trees where the larger group of Bald Eagles were resting.
Eagle Watches have concluded for the 2008 Season
