“When thou seest an eagle, thou seest
a portion of genius; lift up thy head!”
William Blake, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell
In 1976, the Nature Conservancy and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife created the Skagit River Bald Eagle Natural Area. In winter, bald eagles now gather by the hundreds to feed on returning salmon. This project includes another six landowning partners and has preserved more than 9,000 acres of eagle habitat, including more than 10 miles of river and thousands of acres of forests. About 1,300 acres are owned and managed by the Nature Conservancy. www.nature.org
