Eagle Day draws crowd
Written by Mary Rupert Saturday, 04 February 2012 16:39
Moose, an American bald eagle thought to be at least 23 years old, was the star of the show today at Eagle Day at the Mr. and Mrs. F.L. Schlagle Library at Wyandotte County Lake Park. Diane Johnson, right, the founder of Operation Wildlife, accompanied Moose to the annual event. There was standing room only at the library's program, with about 200 people attending the first program, library staff said, and also a crowded room at the second program. A talk on "The Return of the Bald Eagle" was part of the day's activities, along with an opportunity to view hawks, owls and falcons at Davis Hall at the lake park. The event was sponsored by the library, the Kansas City, Kan., Board of Public Utilities, the Unified Government Parks and Recreation Department, and Operation Wildlife. (Staff photo by Mary Rupert)
