Join the staff at Audubon Center at Riverlands for this Birds of Winter program! It may be cold outside, but it’s always 70 degrees inside the center. Two story circular bay windows provide a 140° grand vista of the Mississippi River, where you may see eagles, trumpeter swans, and other fascinating waterfowl. The TreeHouse Wildlife Center will be at the Center with a rehabilitated raptor. It could be an owl, hawk or falcon – stop by the Center to see who shows up! After your raptor meet and greet session, take time to roast some mallows and enjoy a fireside s'more and then join the staff for guided Eagle and Swan walks around Riverlands Migratory Bird Sanctuary’s paved trails to view our overwintering birds. Bring binoculars and wear comfortable clothing and footwear for the outdoors!
