Catch a glimpse of the majestic bald eagle during a nest tour at Sequoyah State Park.

Bald Eagle Nest Tour

Other than in zoos, Oklahomans are hard-pressed to find bald eagles. But at the Three Forks Nature Center in Sequoyah State Park, people can participate in the Bald Eagle Nest Tour: An educational guide into the lives of our national birds as they winter in Oklahoma. Participants will have a chance to see their natural habitats and take a caravan trip to watch eagles soar over the lake at the Fort Gibson Dam. Be sure to bring binoculars and an appetite for doughnuts, coffee, and hot chocolate. January 25. Admission, Free with required reservation. facebook.com
