- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 02 Apr, 2026 at 12:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Join us at noon on Thursday, April 2, for a fascinating presentation by Dan Varland of Coastal Raptors: “Bald Eagles: An American Icon.”

The Bald Eagle is deeply revered by the Indigenous tribes of the Pacific Northwest coast. Frequently featured in dances and ceremonies, eagles are also depicted in drawings, totems, and other forms of Native art. While the Bald Eagle has served as a national symbol of the United States since 1782, it was not officially designated as the National Bird until 2024.

The Bald Eagle’s long lifespan, great strength, regal appearance, and range—exclusive to North America—have undoubtedly contributed to its iconic status. Dan Varland will share insights into Bald Eagle populations in the U.S., along with their natural history, including lifespan, diet, and nesting habits. He will conclude with highlights from his 30 years of monitoring Bald Eagles and other raptors along the Washington coast.
