Credit Roger McDonough While winter may not seem like a prime time to see birds, February is an excellent month to view bald eagles in Utah. Aimee Van Tatenhove went birding over the weekend and reports on her experience. It’s a bright an early morning in Cache Valley, and I’m wandering around the parking lot of Benson Marina, with my binoculars out, looking for bald eagles. While many birds in Utah are easier to find in the summer, bald eagles are one of the few species that make an appearance in the cold winter months. Mark Hadley, the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources’ spokesman, said there’s a good reason for this.
