About this Event
Join Indiana Audubon (IAS) for a special look at the winter spectacle of eagles along the upper Wabash River and reservoir floodplains. Over the past decade, northern Indiana has seen a significant increase in wintering Bald Eagles. Today, this region rivals other prominent Indiana wintering sites, boasting impressive numbers. Some counts exceed 100 birds in a morning!
This special photography based field trip will meet at Mississinewa Dam Spillway on Sunday, February 2nd, at 2 p.m. ET. Registered participants will meet at the Mississinewa Dam Spillway parking lot by the tailwaters. From there we'll caravan to a few areas to view both feeding and roosting eagles. This trip will spend more time at individual eagle sites to maximize photography opportunities, compared to our other eagle-watching trips. Use these coordinates if you have trouble finding the location: 40.718091, -85.957406
