Reelfoot Eagle Report
January 8th, 2003

Eagle populations on Reelfoot have increased significantly in the last few weeks and now is an excellent time to view these magnificent birds.
 

The Reelfoot State Park has begun their annual eagle watching tours and Ranger David Haggard reports they are seeing around 30 Eagles each day on their two hour tours. That's enough to make any Eagle watcher happy.
 

State Park Eagle Tours are held Wednesday through Sunday at 10:00 a.m. and on the weekends they are running a second tour  at  1:00 p.m.. Reservations are required. To make reservations or for more information call the state park at 1-800-250-8617.
 

The State park will also offer a series of special weekend programs each weekend in January and February. Here's a list of these weekend activities:
 

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, 1:00 PM & 3:00 PM - Visitor Center. Observation of Eagles and Waterfowl through a telescope, weather permitting. Programs with reptiles and birds of prey.
 

SATURDAY 7:00 PM - Guest Speakers at Visitor Center/ Assembly Hall. These will cover  a variety of subjects. For a complete list of speakers and programs...click here
 

Tours are also available for smaller groups from the Reelfoot National Wildlife Refuge at 731-538-2481. They accommodate up to five people and reservations are required. The tour  lasts a couple of hours and normal tour times are 8:00am, 10:30am and 1:30pm. Call for other times.
