The annual Forest Preserve District of Will County Eagle Watch program will take place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., January 8, at Four Rivers Environmental Education Center. Bald eagles are spotted regularly at Four Rivers and the surrounding McKinley Woods area each winter as the birds migrate to open water.

Some eagles nest in Illinois year-round, but most migrate south during winter. The Eagle Watch includes refreshing, fact-filled, winter hikes to search for these majestic birds. Short Talon Talks filled with eagle tidbits and live birds of prey programs presented by Hoo’s Woods Raptor Center will be offered inside Four Rivers. There will be a fire outside and Lil’ Deb’s Mobile Eats will be onsite with hot beverages, chili and other delicious food for sale.
 
Free admission. Location: 25055 W. Walnut Lane, Channahon. For more information, visit the event calendar at ReconnectWithNature.org.
