The Cumberland County Winter Eagle Festival is returning for its 11th installment this February.

Hundreds of bird watchers from across the state and country will gather in the wild lands of Cumberland County on Saturday, Feb. 11, to observe these majestic birds in their natural habitat.

The bald eagle has made a remarkable comeback over the last 30 years. According to the NJ Department of Environmental Protection, there was a single breeding pair of bald eagles in the state in 1973, secreted away in a remote forest in Cumberland County.
