The Forest Service can still take a few more volunteers into the Skagit Eagle Watcher program this winter. I have extended the deadline to Wednesday, November 21. Volunteer participants receive training on December 1st and 15th, then spend a few weekends out on the Skagit River looking at eagles and answering questions for the public. Interested? Fill out an application form here (see the tab above) or call the Mt Baker Ranger District for more information at 360-856-5700.

If you enjoy talking to people, birding, and spending time outdoors in winter weather, this opportunity is for you. Get your application here and return it to the Mt Baker Ranger District by Monday, November 19th, 2012. For more information call the Mt Baker Ranger District at 360-856-5700
Fraser River Bald Eagle Festival November 17th
Posted in Uncategorized on November 6, 2012|
The migrating eagles are headed our way, and their numbers are increasing in the Fraser Valley, just in time for the Fraser River Bald Eagle Festival. I’m heading up with my family to check it out. The safari boat tours are almost sold out, but there are seats left on the 18th. I think we will go for it; gotta get in practice on my eagle spotting!
