A couple weekends ago it was Bald Eagle Day in Utah. There were five different locations throughout the State that you could go to view Bald Eagles. There were spotting scopes set up on Bald Eagles to get a good look and we arrived just in time to see a captive Eagle on display.
I didn’t have the right zoom to capture good images but my brother got some great pictures.
The Eagle landing in front (pictured below) was carrying a fish. Super cool!
Bald Eagle Day is a yearly event in Utah held in February, so you should definitely check it out next year if you live in the State. It’s completely free and it gives children the opportunity to be out in nature.
I created a great Bald Eagle craft to go along with Bald Eagle Day. This project is so simple. You will only need few things.
Supplies:
- feathers Brown

- wiggly eye
- scissors

2. Glue feathers to a head

3. Make eagle’s neck
