National Eagle Center Field Trips

Cooler temps are here in the Upper Midwest, signaling the approach of winter and peak eagle viewing season.

The National Eagle Center is prepared with its initial schedule of field trip dates and the acquisition of a brand-new eagle viewing shuttle bus.

Field trips kick off on Saturday, October 18 with the first in a series of three Bald Eagle, Tundra Swan, and waterfowl outings focused on fall migration through November.

Attendees travel to pre-scouted locations and receive a classroom-style educational program from an expert guide.

Minimal walking is required, and guests are encouraged to dress for conditions. Guests are also encouraged to bring their own binoculars and cameras but communal spotting scopes and binoculars are available.

Field trips begin at 12:30 p.m. at the Center in downtown Wabasha and return between 3:30 and 4:00 p.m.

Tickets are $50 for members and $60 for non-members.

Seating is limited, and interested individuals are encouraged to reserve seats as soon as possible. A waiting list is available.
