Bald eagles, the noble and iconic symbol of freedom, are back in Utah during their annual migration season.
"It’s always a thrill when you see them, maybe off in the distance, and you can get your camera out and film them," said photographer Scott Taylor. "I have a few that live in my neighborhood, and I can see them about anytime in the winter. I can go out and look at them."
The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources says February is typically the best time to see bald eagles in Utah as they come through looking for food and escaping colder conditions further north.
"They’re really iconic and really identifiable because of that large white head," said DWR's Faith Heaton Jolley. "They are large, and they’ve got a pretty big wingspan up to 7 feet. Easily identifiable to see."
Now is prime time migration season for the national bird, and there are several places you can find them.
