Despite overcast skies and cool weather, this year’s 22nd Annual Bald Eagle Days was another great success. That’s according to Lake Red Rock Park Ranger Tracy Spry, who tells KNIA/KRLS News that 729 students from schools throughout central Iowa attended eagle programs on Friday, March 5th, and over 1,100 people took part in Bald Eagle Days activities on Saturday, March 6th.

Visitors came from 41 different communities, including several from out-of-state. The program featured live eagles and other wild animals, along with other demonstrations and exhibits on wildlife, and was held at Central College in Pella.
