It s possible you came across one in a tree along the Provo River Trail or flying around a state or federal bird refuge. They re a majestic creature that can be found throughout Utah in the winter months.
Biologists at the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources say that hundreds of eagles make Utah their home before they fly back north for the summer.

DWR News Release
February is the best time of the year to see one of America’s most iconic birds. Bald eagles fly to Utah in the winter to find food and escape colder conditions farther north. By the time February arrives, hundreds of eagles are typically in the state.
In the past, the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources has held viewing events in February where you can see the eagles and learn more about them. However, to try to lessen the spread of COVID-19, the DWR won’t hold bald eagle viewing events this winter.
There are plenty of places where you can see eagles on your own, though. And, you can pick up a free, collectible Bald Eagle Month pin at several locations.
