Skagit Eagle Watch with Wildwater River Tours, Inc.
SKAGIT EAGLE WATCH NATURE'S SPLENDOR AS FEW HAVE SEEN IT. Each winter, up to 300 Bald Eagles congregate in the Skagit Preserve. These magnificent and endangered birds are accustomed to seeing only the occasional riverboat in their protected habitat, so sightings are frequent. With wingspans of up to seven feet, the eagle is truly majestic from close range. You'll float calmly and comfortably with other enthusiasts in astoundingly beautiful scenery, watching our National Symbol feeding on the banks, soaring above or perched only a few yards away. Guides are experienced eagle watchers. A optional fantastic Spaghetti lunch is available. Join us!
