Bald EagleWatching
Each winter, bald eagles gather in the Sauk Prairie area due to open water for fishing, an undeveloped shoreline with large trees for perching, and sheltered valleys for night-time roosting.
Eagle watching is best during the morning when the birds are most active fishing; they are frequently seen perching in trees along the river. Spotting scopes are available at the Ferry Bluff Eagle Council’s Overlooks in Prairie du Sac and Sauk City.

Co-Hosts
Ferry Bluff Eagle Council (FBEC) is a grassroots, not-for-profit organization that:
Maintains Overlooks for viewing eagles [See locations #5 and #7 on map]
Preserves and monitors year-round eagle habitat
Conducts educational outreach programs, educates public on watching eagles while maintaining the birds’ safety
Works with landowners to manage eagle habitat
Monitoring night time eagle roosts each winter
PLEASE Watch eagles without scaring them!
Thank you for your consideration of our nation’s symbol, the bald eagle.
People on foot scare eagles. Please remain in your car and use it as a blind. Do not walk along the river, particularly at the hydropower dam, since that is the eagles’ most active feeding area. Eagles, particularly immature ones, need to conserve their energy in order to survive the cold days of Wisconsin winters.
