The chance to see Bald Eagles in the Land Between the Lakes is an annual event for many (photo by Paul Konrad).
Winter is the peak season to enjoy viewing and photographing Bald Eagles in Kentucky’s Land Between the Lakes, and now through early February you can sign up to join a 3-hour van tour to explore the Bald Eagles’ favorite bays, shorelines, and roosting sites. Both resident and wintering Bald Eagles search for fish around the lakes where you will search for these majestic symbols of America as they soar overhead, perch in the trees, and maybe you will even see one in action as it tries to catch a fish. US Forest Service naturalists will help you spot eagles and other wildlife, and provide magnified views with spotting scopes for better looks. Van tours begin at the Woodlands Nature Station near Cadiz, Kentucky; to register, call (270) 924-2020.
