Eagle Float Birdwatching
2023 Dates TBD
The Eagle Float is Canyonlands Field Institute’s iconic tribute to those who don’t mind waking up a little early to see the magnificent waterfowl of the Colorado River. Anybody is welcome, from serious birders looking to check off a few bucket list species, to outdoor enthusiasts looking to experience a fun, relaxing float through a beautiful canyon.
Guest Outfitter & Experts
CFI guides team up with Sheri Griffith Expeditions for this motorized day trip through Ruby Horsethief Canyon as we spy for eagles, falcons, and other magnificent birds along the river corridor. Guest biologists provide tips on identification, habits, population status and current wildlife management issues.
Calling all Birders
Whether you keep your dog-eared Sibley Bird Guide close at hand, or you can’t tell a grebe from a pelican, this trip will be sure to capture your imagination. The serene sandstone of Ruby Horsetheif canyon pairs well with the crisp, clean winter air.
