The Eagle Days Festival is a unique opportunity for families to watch eagles fishing, riding ice floes, soaring overhead and roosting in nearby trees.
Visitors can view eagles through spotting scopes staffed by trained volunteers throughout the day. An educational program will be presented by the World Bird Sanctuary, featuring a live eagle, every 20 minutes from 10 a.m. to 2:40 p.m. Warming tents will be available. You can also participate in a hands-on exhibit of local birds presented by St. Louis Audubon, see a full-size replica of an eagle's nest, and take part in children's art activities in the warming tent.
