American Bald Eagle on the Baraboo River, Baraboo, Wisconsin.

Bald Eagle watching days are coming up in Sauk Prairie, Wisconsin beginning with a 7pm presentation by David Stokes called “Fun with Animals” on Friday, January 15th.  The following day, Saturday, January 16th, there will be a variety of exhibits and events around Sauk Prairie including presentations on eagle conservation efforts in Wisconsin, an Eagle Wine wine tasting at Wollershiem winery and hourly bus tours out to see the stars of the festival as well.  Every year the annual Eagle Watching Days festival offers a great opportunity for families to break the often claustrophobic habits of winter and just get out and enjoy nature and community.

Now, the guy in today’s picture is a Baraboo Eagle.  I took his portrait about an hour ago actually. I counted 15 in the 20 minutes or so I spent down by the river.  Suddenly this winter Sauk Prairie isn’t the only place to see these magnificent birds.
