Idaho Vacation: Bald Eagle Days

 
12th ANNUAL
BALD EAGLE DAYS PUBLIC CELEBRATION
at the
Idaho Shakespeare Festival
Saturday, January 29, 2011

10:00am - 4:30 pm
5657 Warm Springs Ave, Boise


Bald Eagle Days is an annual celebration in Boise, Idaho, held in late January. It's purpose is to raise local awareness, appreciation, and support for the Boise River, Barber Pool, and its wildlife. The celebration takes place at The Idaho Shakespeare Festival Facility, located within Barber Pool.

Barber Pool is the perfect place to host Bald Eagle Days, as it supports a communal bald eagle roost and a nesting site. Come celebrate Barber Pool!

Bald Eagle Days is a FREE family-oriented event that includes a variety of activities designed to allow the public to get “up close and personal” with America’s national symbol. Participants can take part in wildlife viewing along the Boise River with Audubon Society volunteers, listen to informative presentations with bald eagles and other live birds of prey, participate in hands-on educational activities, and visit informative environmental booths from local organizations.
Please note that activities are both indoors and outside--dress accordingly!
