The Macon County Conservation District has announced their yearly trip to Starved Rock State Park on Saturday, January 20th, 2024. 

Program Specialist Brock Rowland says that this trip is designated for eagle viewing, as Starved Rock State Park plays host to many of these majestic birds. The topography of Starved Rock and food sources make for the perfect habitat for the eagle species. Rowland says some years the group will view over 20 eagles.

The journey to Starved Rock is $30 per person and the Macon County Conservation District urges attendees to dress for the elements.

Registration and information about the Starved Rock Eagle Viewing opportunity can be found at www.maconcountyconservation.org/events/trip-to-starved-rock. 

Registration is due one day before departure, Friday, January 19th, 2024.
