We had a very successful Eagle Watch Day with approximately 230 people visiting the Center. Despite the rain, fog and cold temperatures, the eagles cooperated and were at the Center for everyone's viewing pleasure! An awesome bird program by Lee Schoenewe was enjoyed in the afternoon. Several eagles are still in the area around the Center. Hopefully they will decide to make the valley their permanent residence!
This Thursday evening, March 18, Naturalist Charlene Elyea will be presenting the Bird House Building program. This is a great way to create a place for wildlife in your own backyard. You can build a robin shelf or a wren house - your choice! Be here at 7:00 p.m. and bring a hammer if you have one. Call us if you need further information.
I saw the first robins at the Center this morning and ducks and geese are in the air as well - all welcome signs of spring!! The Little Sioux River is running fast and furious (some large ice blocks have been racing by) and you can get a good view of it right now from our windows. That reminds me - it won't be that long until our 2nd Annual Canoe Race - we have just selected the date - August 14th! Below is a picture from last year's race.
