January 2008 BirdNote Episodes:
During winter, Bald Eagles retreat from the territories where they breed, to seek out rivers rich with spawning and spent salmon. The Upper Skagit River in northwest Washington is a favorite sashimi restaurant for hundreds of eagles. To celebrate the congregation of eagles, Rockport, Concrete, Marblemount, and Newhalem will hold the Upper Skagit Bald Eagle Festival on January 24-25, 2009. For more about the festival, visit www.SkagitEagle.org.
