Final Bald Eagle Days event on Feb. 1
The Roaring River Nature Center on Feb. 1 will host an event for visitors to learn all about bald eagles and search for these magnificent birds along Roaring River. When water sources freeze in the north, bald eagles migrate south to find food and water. With its constant flowing water and abundance of fish, Roaring River is an ideal location for bald eagles. People may visit the CCC Lodge anytime between 3-5 p.m. to participate in eagle-themed crafts and activities. Spotting scopes and binoculars will be available to help visitors locate eagles, and warm beverages will be available. People may also bring binoculars, spotting scopes and cameras of their own. People should dress for the weather, and consider bringing water and snacks. This program is free and open to the public, and there is no need to register. For more information, call the park office at 417-847-2539.
