9th
Annual Eagle Watch Weekend
A Celebration of Success
The Banquet Center at
One mile east of College Mall at the intersection of 3rd Street and State Road 446, Bloomington, Indiana
February 6 - 8, 2009
Yet another Eagle Watch Weekend is in the books and it was a huge success! Not only did we easily find eagles on every outing, but during the bus caravans to view eagles in the wild on Saturday, every single person saw not only one, but multiple eagles in nearly every plumage. But the big highlight was reserved for only about a fourth of the folks who just happened to be at the Cutright viewing station when not one, not two, but three Golden Eagles flew into view! You couldn't ask for a better day viewing the eagles at Lake Monroe.
Below is the complete species list for the weekend - 52 species - not a record, but still a great weekend of birding at Lake Monroe - Indiana's premier birdwatching area. Mark your calendars for next year's 9th Annual Eagle Watch Weekend - February 6, 7, and 8, 2009. Check back for details later this year.
See you there!
