According to Rebekah Penny, park interpreter: "We have always seen eagles on our tours; some mature, some immature, and we always see other beautiful wildlife as well. It could be migrating osprey, great blue herons, king fishers, deer or red-tailed hawks. No one will ever be disappointed on our eagle tours."
Penny added, "We can only take 20 guests at a time, so it's important that folks call the park in a timely manner to ensure that their names get on the boarding lists."
Tickets must be purchased in advance: $10 (plus tax) adults $10; $5 for children 6-12. Tours depart Rocky Branch Marina promptly at 3 p.m.
