Quartz Mountain Nature Park Lone Wolf, OK
Eagles usually arrive a Quartz Mountain near the end of December and depart around March 1st. Eagles can be seen coming and going from their roosting areas, usually an hour after sunrise and about an hour before sunset. Eagles roost in the tall cottonwoods found in along the north shore. On warm afternoons, the eagles can often be seen ''riding the thermals'' above Twin Peaks, Quartz Mountain, and Hicks Mountain.
