The Little Sioux River Valley is a great place to view Bald Eagles. It is quite the sight to see the majestic Bald Eagle soaring overhead or perching in a tree. Join us on Saturday, March 20 at the Prairie Heritage Center for an enjoyable morning of viewing eagles, participating in activities, and learning more about our national symbol.
The annual Bald Eagle Watch is a come-and-go program from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The O’Brien County Naturalist and other volunteers will be on hand to help you spot and identify eagles and other birds. You can enjoy different hands-on activities for people of all ages at the Prairie Heritage Center as well as get a map to drive to view eagles throughout the Little Sioux River Valley.
At 11:00 a.m., Shelby County and Iowa DNR naturalist, Christina Roelofs, will do a virtual presentation on Bald Eagles. This presentation can be viewed at the Prairie Heritage Center or from the comfort of your own home. Contact O’Brien County Conservation naturalist, Abbie Parker, to register for the zoom link at aparker@obriencounty.iowa.gov or 712-295-7200.
