“SOAR with the Eagles” events announced

February 1, 2012

Each year as winter turns to spring, huge numbers of bald eagles will use the Mississippi River as a flyway back north, stopping along the way to feast on fish as the ice recedes. During the month of March, we celebrate this great eagle migration with our SOAR with the Eagles festival.

SOAR with the Eagles takes place each weekend in March, with special events, guest presenters, artists and exhibitors, a raffle and more. This year, SOAR kicks off with A Taste of Wabasha. This month-long event is our biggest fundraiser of the year, so we hope you’ll help us celebrate and come to Wabasha to SOAR with the Eagles!

Check out the schedule of events for each weekend and plan your visit!

Bob Anderson has been working to restore healthy raptor populations for decades. His work in the recovery of the Peregrine Falcon in the upper Midwest is well respected. A more recent project involved placing a camera above a bald eagle nest near the Raptor Resource Project outside Decorah, Iowa. Last year, that camera featured a nesting pair of eagles laying eggs, incubating, hatching and successfully fledging three young eaglets. More than 9 million people watched as these eagles tenderly reared their young. One eaglet, D1, is being tracked with a small satellite transmitter to find out more about the travels of juvenile eagles.
