Eagle Meet & Greet ($10)
Meet Liberty, the live American Bald Eagle, up close and presented by World Bird Sanctuary! Visitors will learn all about amazing eagle adaptations, their conservation history, and fun facts. Question and answer opportunities will follow and visitors will leave with a renewed passion for our nation's symbol. Sessions: 10a, 11a, 1p, 2p
After your eagle meet and greet session, take time to roast mallows and enjoy a fireside s'more. Then a leisurely walk along our trails to view overwintering eagles, trumpeter swans, and other waterfowl that call the Riverlands Migratory Bird Sanctuary their winter home! Our trails will also feature self-guided learning stations, a trail-side storybook walk, and more!
