Bald Eagle Days

Saturday, January 14 & 
Sunday, January 15, 2012

This year we will have a new location and format for our January Eagle Days celebration, now to be held along the river in south Tulsa on Saturday and Sunday mornings. We're partnering with the Jenks High School Ornithology Club to present this new and exciting program!

Following the morning watch, there will be a round robin series of interesting presentations and speakers, focusing primarily on Bald Eagles, hosted at the Jenks High School Freshmen Academy. It will include food, t-shirts, even live raptors. For more information contact Todd Humphrey, 918-810-4492.
 

8:30-10:00am, Helmerich Park on Riverside Drive (Between 71st and 81st streets)

Our members will be there to help you spot the Eagles, and will also have spotting scopes so you can get a close-up look at the birds. There has been a nesting pair of Eagles in this area in the last few years, so we hope they will return this year!
