While you are hiking, camping, boating or even just taking a stroll, enjoy the presence of eagles by staying at least 400 yards away and getting your close view with a camera or binoculars.
If you see a nesting site, keep a wide buffer as eagle parents may abandon the nest if they feel threatened, leaving the eaglets behind. You can also help by reporting any eagle nest sites you see to the DNR at vwmp@dnr.iowa.gov.
You can be trained as a volunteer eagle nest monitor. For more information, go to the DNR website: http://www.iowadnr.gov/vwmp

Winter is the best time to see eagles in Iowa. They start to arrive from the north around September and will continue coming through January. The heaviest concentration is usually found along the Mississippi and Des Moines Rivers because of the abundance of fish.
Stay informed and up-to-date on eagle news by signing up for wildlife alerts
and by keeping an “eagle-eye” on the Decorah Eagle cam.

You can also symbolically adopt one of Blank Park Zoo’s Bald Eagles, Liberty or Spirit, supporting their care. Go HERE to find out how.
If you see an eagle in trouble you can contact your local DNR office.
