Come celebrate the comeback of our nation's symbol! Get ready,
bird watchers, here's your chance to see one of the most exciting
creatures in the state. During Bald Eagle Days visitors get the
chance to see bald eagles from the best viewing areas in the state of
Iowa . Bald eagles move from their northern homes into the area in
early December. Until their departure in early March, the dam area at
Lake Red Rock is a favorite feeding spot for the eagles. On many
weekends, visitors report seeing 20- 60 eagles just in this area.
Observe the incredible gathering of the American white pelicans at
Jester Park. View the pelicans through high-powered spotting scopes
and listen to a variety of educational programs throughout the day.
Bring your younger family members to the "kids" tent for games and
other fun projects. Numerous free opportunities will await people of
all ages. Refreshments and merchandise will be available for
purchase. 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
