Upper Skagit River Eagle Count

The count includes only eagles that are actually seen by experienced personnel & include those seen in areas inaccessible to the general public. During the peak viewing season, mid-December to late January, you might be able to see as many as 100 eagles from Highway 20.

Many Thanks to the US Forest Service for forwarding the Eagle Counts posted on this page.
