The events will feature live bird demonstrations, programs delivered by notable speakers, and guided field trips to look for eagles in their natural habitat.
The Eagle Awareness Weekends began in 1985 to coincide with a bald eagle restoration program in Alabama. A loss of habitat, pesticide use, and poaching had pushed eagle populations to the brink of extinction nationwide. Alabama’s restoration project began in 1984 with the Alabama Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries’ Nongame Wildlife Program. |
