 <\/p>\n

The beginning months of the year are the best times to view wild bald eagles. The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) and its partners offer the chance to discover a close connection with the breathtaking birds of prey.\u00a0 The Eagle Days at the Old Chain of Rocks Bridge Festival took place from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 18-19.
\nVisitors viewed eagles through spotting scopes staffed by trained volunteers at any time from the vantage point of the historic Old Chain of Rocks Bridge.\u00a0 The bridge is part of the Mississippi Greenway, also known as the Riverfront Trail.
\nOn both days, the World Bird Sanctuary presented an educational program featuring a live bald eagle, repeated every 20 minutes from 10 a.m.-2:00 p.m. Programming included a hands-on exhibit of local birds presented by St. Louis Audubon, a full-size replica of an eagle\u2019s nest, and warming tent activities, including children\u2019s crafts.\u00a0 On Saturday, the Illinois entrance of the bridge featured living history re-enactors from the Lewis and Clark State Historic Site in Hartford, Ill.
\nVisitors were encouraged to dress warmly, wear comfortable shoes (eagle viewing occurs at the center of the bridge, a half-mile walk from each bridge entrance), and leave their pets at home. Hot food and drink were available for purchase.
\nEagle Days at the Old Chain of Rocks Bridge is produced through a partnership between MDC, Illinois Department of Natural Resources, and Great Rivers Greenway. For more about Bald Eagles from MDC, visit mdc.mo.gov\/blogs\/discover-nature-notes\/bald-eagles<\/a>.<\/p>\n
