ENF Bald Eagle Bus Tours
The bus will leave Stoney Creek Inn in Galena, Illinois promptly at 8:00 AM.
Participants will board the bus at 7:45 AM.
Eagles will be observed fishing, perching in trees, sitting on ice, or flying. Bring
warm clothing, binoculars, telescopes, and cameras. Reserve your seat early to
insure a spot on this scenic tour. Cost is $75 per seat for adults and $50 per seat
for children.* Contact ENF to reserve your seat at 815-594-2306.
Bald Eagles normally winter in large numbers along the Upper Mississippi River.
This has allowed tour participants during past years to enjoy (depending upon the
weather) from 30 to 350 bald eagles during the four hour tour.
Mr. Ingram, who has been conducting these tours for over 45 years, feels that the
Midwestern bald eagle population may be on the verge of collapse and
recommends people to see the bald eagles while they are still plentiful.
Several different active bald eagle nests will be observed from a distance to
prevent disturbance of the nesting adults. Nests in this area raised as many as 7
eaglets in 1999, when the bald eagle population was near its peak.
Mr. Ingram will present information about the bald eagles' daily feeding habits,
migration movements, and life history, as well as survival problems. Tour
participants will come away with a better appreciation of America's symbol, and the
understanding of why we should all strive to keep the bald eagle flying free and
save its habitat which is threatened.
Stoney Creek Inn (800-659-2220) in Galena offers a $79 room rate for anyone
staying in their Inn both before and after the tour. Automobiles may be left in the
Stoney Creek parking lot while a person is on the tour.
* Canceled reservations will be refunded minus 10% of the original fee.
