A unique opportunity for photographers and nature lovers presents itself at the end of February. The annual Eagles and Ag event in Nevada’s beautiful Carson Valley is coming back:
The ‘Eagles and Ag’ tours and workshops focus on the influx of bald eagles and other birds of prey that come to the scenic Carson Valley to feed on the rodents and nutrient‐rich afterbirth during the winter calving season. This remarkable interaction between nature and agriculture attracts photographers, birders and nature‐lovers of all kinds who come to closely observe bald and golden eagles, hawks, falcons, owls, and a variety of other bird and wildlife species. A complete schedule of events and information can be viewed at www.visitcarsonvalley.org.
Along with the tours and workshops, there is a photo contest with prizes for the best shot taken at the event. There are also great room rates in case you want to make a weekend out of it.
I’ve never seen the event, but it looks interesting to say the least. The Carson Valley (Minden, Gardnerville, and Genoa) is an amazing location and one of the most beautiful places in the state. This ought to be well worth the trip.
