Where to Spot Eagles for Bald Eagle Month
February is bald eagle month in Utah, when hundreds migrate here during the winter. Every now and then you can even see one hanging out at Liberty Park. Grab your binoculars and head to these spots to get the best views of them in northern Utah:
- Along the Weber River, near Croydon, and just below Echo Reservoir.
- Willard Bay Reservoir, west of Willard.
- Compton's Knoll at the Salt Creek Waterfowl Management Area, west of Corinne.
Safety tip: Don’t drive distracted or stop in the middle of the road, pull off to the side for all of your eagle-watching needs.
