Eagle Watching Bus Tours - Saturdays
In January and February FBEC volunteers guide eagle watching bus tours on Saturday* mornings. Participants should meet at the Cedarberry Inn on Phillips Blvd. (Hwy 12) for a 10:00 a.m. departure time. The tour is one hour long and visits the dam, VFW Park and Prairie du Sac overlook, sites where eagles are regularly seen.

The cost is $5 per person (children 5 and younger are free). To reserve a spot, call the Sauk Prarie Area Chamber of Commerce at 1-800-68EAGLE. (These are very popular - Reservations are strongly encouraged.)

Presentation Available on Area's Wintering Eagles
FBEC volunteers are available to give PowerPoint presentations to area groups. Anyone interested in this service should contact Joan Quenan at 608-393-9360. A $100 donation is encouraged.

Eagle Overlook in Prairie du Sac

Every Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m., FBEC volunteers greet visitors at our overlook in Prairie du Sac. We answer questions, help people see eagles through spotting scopes, provide information, and steer them to other eagle watching sites.

Volunteer Opportunity!
Saturday & Sunday mornings we take 2 hour shifts and have fun meeting a wide variety of people. email us if you would like to volunteer for "overlook duty".

*Please note that during Eagle Days, bus tours are FREE and run from the Sauk Prairie High School. Bus Tours fill quickly, first come - first served. No reservations.
