world!

World Eagle Day is one of
our most popular events. It’s a
chance for everyone to get out of the house after a long cold winter and enjoy
the outdoors with us. Be prepared
to celebrate everything Eagle—from close-up encounters with eagles from around
the world to having an eagle soar overhead--close enough to feel the draft from
its wing beats.
Kids of all ages can have their faces painted (photo: Sandra Lowe)
There will be face
painting, crafts for the kids, flight demonstrations by our free flying eagles,
the opportunity to have your photo taken with a Bald Eagle, and much more. Our gift shop will have special eagle-related
merchandise for those wanting souvenirs.
Have your photo taken with a live eagle for a small fee (photo: Gay Schroer)
As a special treat this
year members of SIA: The Comanche Nation Ethno-Ornithological Institute, will
discuss the unique importance of eagles to Comanche culture.
So, mark your
calendars.
