Sardis Raptor Presentation
Our season officially started, and we kicked it off with a great presentation from Sardis Raptor Center. They taught us about different hunting strategies when it came to raptors and brought Einstein the Bald Eagle! She was incredible to see up close and personal!
During our Naturalist guided walks on Sunday, December 15th at 11:00 am and 1:30 pm we saw 12 Bald Eagles, 10 adults and 2 juveniles. We also saw Glaucous Gulls, Common Mergansers, Spotted Towhees, Dark Eyed Juncos, a Pacific Wren, an American Dipper, Steller’s Jays, Ravens, Crows, American Robins, and a Red-Tailed Hawk. We also saw some spawned-out salmon in the side channels of the Skagit. So far, compared to this time last season we are seeing higher numbers of Bald Eagles in our section of the river.
Upcoming
We are having Kelly from the Skagit Fisheries Enhancement Group coming to join our walks on Saturday, December 21st at 11 am, Saturday December 28th at 11 am and 1:30 pm, and Saturday January 4th at 11 am and 1:30 pm to speak more in depth about the work the Skagit Fisheries Enhancement Group has done around Howard Miller Steelhead Park and other projects around Skagit County.
The Skagit River Bald Eagle Awareness Team (SRBEAT) is the 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that operates the Interpretive Center.
The Skagit River Bald Eagle Interpretive Center at Howard Miller Steelhead Park, Rockport, WA offers opportunities to better understand the Skagit River ecosystem with an emphasis on the winter migration of bald eagles, salmon, and the vital role each play in our environment. On weekends in December through February we offer Guided Nature Hikes along the scenic Skagit River and a Speaker Series. Our educational programs include a K-12 & Home School Program and Community Group Tours.
