Bald Eagle at Sauk Prairie,WI

Eagle Overlook

Sauk Prairie, WI

Sauk Prairie, Wisconsin

Each winter, bald eagles gather in the Sauk Prairie area due to a unique combination of factors. For winter survival the eagles need open water for fishing, undeveloped shoreline with large trees for perching and sheltered valleys for nightime roosting.

Eagle watching is best during the morning when the birds are most active fishing and are frequently seen perching in trees along the river. Spotting scopes are available for your use at the Ferry Bluff Eagle Council's Overlook in Prairie du Sac. We recommend that you bring binoculars and warm clothes for the best viewing experience January 14th & 15th.

On both days, enjoy the special activities and educational exhibits at the River Arts Center. Hot food and beverages will be available for sale at the Sauk Prairie High School and VFW Park.

We hope that by bringing people together to share the thrill of watching eagles and to learn about their needs and habits, we can strengthen our collective commitment to preserving this precious resource. Please be careful not to disturb the birds and enjoy the weekend!
