People can learn about and see bald eagles wintering on the Skagit River at three stations on the North Cascades Highway through Jan. 27.
Volunteers are providing spotting scopes and binoculars for viewing at Howard Miller Steelhead Park in Rockport, Sutter Creek Rest area (milepost 100), and at the Marblemount Fish Hatchery.
The viewings are 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. Off-highway parking is available.
The volunteers are with the Eagle Watcher Program, which is hosted by the U.S. Forest Service.
