It’s Here!

It’s finally here!  The World Bird Sanctuary’s annual harbinger of Spring—World Eagle Day!
 Clark, one of the Bald Eagles you may have seen fly at a Baseball Cardinals game
Most of us are familiar with the Bald Eagle—our national symbol.  However, did you know that there are many other species of eagles?  The United States is home to two of these—the Bald Eagle and the Golden Eagle.  Throughout the world there are many others. Come out and join us on Saturday, March 20 to see many of these other magnificent birds from around the world.

Bring your cameras and be prepared to be entertained.  There will be presentations by our naturalists who will be assisted by our stars, the birds; a photo op station where you can have your photo taken with one of our majestic Bald Eagles; face painting; sing-alongs; storytelling; and a number of other fun activities. 
 For a small fee have your photo taken with a Bald Eagle
Food will be available at our Peregrine Café snack booth.

Admission and parking are free.

So plan to join us tomorrow for a fun day outdoors.

Hours:  10 am to 3 pm

For the safety of our guests and our birds, no pets please.
