The
2015 Bald Eagle Watch will be held the weekend of January 24th and
25th. This year’s programs and activities will take place at three
locations at Starved Rock along the Illinois River, one mile south
of Utica in LaSalle County. |
Two of those locations will feature live birds of prey from the
Illinois Raptor Center. One live raptor program at Starved Rock
Lodge will feature IRC's Program Director, Jacques Nuzzo, while a
second live raptor program held at the Army Corps Waterways Visitor
Center will feature John James Audubon as portrayed by Brian Fox
Ellis. A third live raptor program with a falconry demonstration
will be presented at the Starved Rock Visitor Center.
Storytelling, photography programs, education programs and exhibits
by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, Illinois Audubon
and Ameren Illinois will take place as well as children’s activities
at all locations. A trolley runs between all three locations
throughout the weekend. Bald Eagle Watch this year is being
sponsored by Ameren Illinois and is free to the public. For more
