An all-day Nature Watch tour on January 18th will take you in search of eagles, pelicans, and some of the 25+ species of waterfowl that call Land Between The Lakes home in the winter.

The morning session explores winter birding hotspots of LBL, while the afternoon session focuses on eagles in northern LBL. Join one or both tours! The cost is $25.00/person for a full day, $15.00/person for a half day.
