Oklahoma
is one of the top 10 states in the nation for winter eagle viewing. Each
winter, as northern lakes freeze over, thousands of bald eagles migrate to
warmer, southern waters. Oklahoma is especially attractive to these magnificent
birds. During severe winters in the north, 750 to 1,500 eagles may gather here.
A resident population of more than 100 bald eagles also lives here year-round.
See the nation’s proudest living symbol, and share it with your children. Watch bald eagles soar at an Eagle Viewing Event near you. Most events are free or have a minimal charge. The majority are held on weekends during January.
