17th Annual Eagle Expo
Birds of a feather flock to the long-running St. Mary Parish birding event.
With the 16th annual expo cancelled, 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.
This year, there will be a photography workshop by C.C. Lockwood, though it requires a separate registration, and there will be two boat tours to view the American Bald Eagle. There will also be two field trips, one to the Bayou Teche National Wildlife Refuge and one to Green Foundation Property off Cotten Road. 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 $35 – $70 for adults. cajuncoast.com.
