15th Annual Eagle Expo
Birds of a feather flock to the long-running St. Mary Parish birding event.
C.C. Lockwood
The Eagle Expo, hosted by Cajun Coast, is back for another year of gimlet-eyed education and observation, all set deep within the Atchafalaya Basin, which is home to this and other rare species of flora and fauna. Those that wing it westward to the Morgan City area will have opportunities to join boat tours into surrounding waterways to view eagles nests, enjoy raptor demonstrations, and sit in on presentations by wildlife professionals on a wide variety of topics.
A highlight of this year's expo will be a "Wings to Soar" presentation, showcasing various birds of prey. A ticket also gets you into the Water & Nature Expo at MD Shannon Elementary on Saturday, featuring exhibits and vendors highlighting outdoor recreation and Louisiana's waterways. A mandatory $40 registration fee gains you entry to the Wings to Soar Presentation and Friday night social. Then sign up for the boat tours of your choice. Tickets for individual boat tours range from $40 – $80 for adults. cajuncoast.com
