Mark your calendars for Sunday, March 15th!!
Here in Missouri it could be cold and blustery, or it could be warm enough for summer gear. Whatever the weather, our friends, supporters, and casual guests don't seem to care! It's the day they come out to see eagles from around the world at the World Bird Sanctuary.
This popular event features our country's symbol, the bald eagle, up close and personal, as well as the Golden Eagle, our other native species. Visitors will also see other eagle species from around the world that most would never otherwise have the opportunity to view.
One very popular feature at this event is the opportunity for guests to have their photo taken with one of our magnificent bald eagles, as you can see from the photos.
There will also be informative and entertaining presentations by our naturalists about the different eagles found in other parts of the world. Entertainment might include, but not be limited to -- sing-alongs, story telling, face painting, plus many other activities not listed.
So, take this opportunity to escape the winter doldrums. Come visit with us on March 15. Be prepared to stroll our grounds, meet our naturalists, and have your questions answered.
Don't forget your camera! As you can see from this photo, some of our guests REALLY come prepared!
Many of our guests on this day are Scout Troops fulfilling some of the requirements for their badges and having their photo taken with a real live American Bald Eagle!
DON'T FORGET:

Wow! I didn't know about this event. Sounds like fun...a perfect chance to see normally elusive wildlife up close. I'll try to come out. I'll tell folks about it, too.
