WhereDaily News: Verde Canyon Railroad Celebrates the Return of Eagle Season

SEDONA, AZ and CLARKDALE, AZ and COTTONWOOD, AZ--(Marketwired - Sep 8, 2014) - San Juan Capistrano has its swallows; Michoacán, Mexico has its monarch butterflies and Hawaii has its humpback whales. Arizona's protected Verde Canyon (near Sedona) has its own famous migration each winter: bald and golden eagles and a great variety of hawks join resident raptors in the Canyon's riparian paradise. Long before humans wishing to escape chilly climates deemed sunny Arizona an ideal winter getaway, the original "snowbirds" were already here. An ideal eagle breeding habitat with cozy cliffs for nesting, abundant prey and the perennially flowing river full of fat fish, Verde Canyon is a sheltered area closed to the public from December through June.
