SATURDAY, MARCH 1: Red Rock Eagle Viewing
Join us for
a day of outdoor viewing of Bald Eagles at Red Rock Lake between
Pella and
Knoxville. There will be spotting scopes available for good views
of
eagles below the dam at Howell Station/Horn Bridge and/or around
the
lake. There will be displays at the Central College auditorium, a
live
eagle and presentations and the video called "Listen to the Eagle's
Message"
will be shown during the weekend.
Bring binoculars if you
have them, dress for conditions and bring hot
beverages and
snacks.
We'll plan to leave the Des Moines area at 1 p.m.--meeting at the
McDonalds parking lot along University Avenue (Highway 163) in Pleasant
Hill.
Some participants may choose to stay for a 7:30 p.m. concert by Jon
Stravers
at the Pella Opera House ($15.00 admission).

The concert mentioned is by
Jon "Hawk" Stravers and his group called Big Blue Sky. Jon has done hawk
research for over 25 year--he's a river man and folk musician who writes and
sings music about his relationship with the environment. His son, who was
also a musician, and grandson were killed last fall in an automobile
accident. This concert will celebrate their lives with music. Jon is
originally from the Pella area but he now lives near McGregor.
