Clark and Fredbird Team Up


On January 17, 2011, at Cardinal Winter Warm-Up, St. Louis baseball Cardinal fans were able to get a close look at Clark the Bald Eagle and have their photo taken standing next to Clark and Fredbird the Cardinal Mascot.

What a great way to shake off the cold weather and focus your thoughts on Spring, Cardinal Baseball, and warmer weather!

Clark is one of the Eagles that fly at Busch Stadium prior to some of the Cardinal Home games during the regular season.  Clark is trained by World Bird Sanctuary staff member Roger Wallace.  Roger does a superb job of training our Eagles and getting them ready for their awe-inspiring flights at the ballgames.

The Cardinal Winter Warm-Up is a fundraiser to benefit Cardinals Care, the team's community foundation supporting kids.

Pictured with Fredbird is World Bird Sanctuary Volunteer Jaimie Sansoucie.
