Learn to take photos of eagles and their habitat! Join the Delaware Highlands Conservancy on February 3 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. for a special bus tour and workshop with eagle watching, sightseeing, and photography instruction.

On this tour, participants will learn about eagles in our region, how they returned from the brink of extinction, and the habitat they need to thrive while taking a scenic drive on a heated bus and looking for eagles.

Local photographer Sandy Long will also provide instruction on taking great photos of eagles and their habitat, and the Conservancy’s Land Protection Associate Avery Siler will give a brief presentation on art history and the conservation movement.

Bus tour participants are invited (but not required) to submit their photos to the Conservancy’s winter 2018 photo contest, Sharing Space: Eagles and Their Environs. Complete contest rules are available online.

Be sure to dress warmly in layers and wear waterproof boots. Bring binoculars, camera, and snacks.
