Come see America's most iconic bird in Southern Utah! Every winter, bald eagles fly south to find food and escape colder conditions farther north. Join the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources for a free bald eagle viewing event on Jan. 9th, from 3-6 p.m. in Cedar City.

Looking for a relaxed way to connect with other nature lovers? Join us for a birding social hour — a casual meet-up for adults who enjoy good conversation, fresh air, and a shared appreciation for wildlife.

An experienced birder will guide the group on a walk around our wetlands trail — typically about 1.5 miles. Whether you’re new to birding or already have a life list, this is a great way to unwind, learn something new, and meet other people who enjoy the outdoors. 

This event is free to attend, but we ask guests to bring a non-perishable canned food item to donate. We’ve partnered with the Bountiful Food Pantry to support those facing food insecurity in our community.
