The Chickasaw Cultural Center, in collaboration with the National Park Service and the Chickasaw National Recreation Area, will highlight the American bald eagle during the annual bald eagle watch. The event will begin 9 a.m., Feb. 4, at the Travertine Nature Center in the Chickasaw National Recreation Area, Sulphur, Oklahoma.
