This primetime eagle season features an abundance of high-flying activity as the birds jockey for territory, mates and nesting locations.\u00a0 Most of the access points to the Canyon are closed to the public during the breeding season, the exception being Verde Canyon Railroad. The train has rumbled through this ravine for over 110 years and poses no distraction to these avian inhabitants, their many generations accustomed to the iron horse\u2019s daily appearance along the river.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"p1\">Catch a glimpse of our national symbol in its natural landscape, flying free in the big western sky along red sandstone cliff faces and diving into the cool green river waters to snatch a fat fish to feed its eaglets. Eagle watchers can snag some treats of their own during the rail trip with freshly-made hors d\u2019oeuvres washed down with our classic prickly pear margarita.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b02af24 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b02af24\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8680d47\" data-id=\"8680d47\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Being outside in our complimentary open-air viewing cars offer the best opportunity to spot a bald eagle in the wild.
