Eagles and other raptors captivate crowd


PERSEUS, a barred owl was one of the birds shown at the live bird presentation at the Prairie du Chien Bald Eagle Appreciation Days event. The presenter explained how owls had adapted to become silent, nighttime hunters.

OTIS THE PEREGRINE is a falcon, a nine-year-old male, and a representative of a species considered to be the fastest animal on Planet Earth.

VALKYRIE THE EAGLE was the clear star of the show. A 12-year-old female bald eagle, she exited her cage with spirited chatter, but remained calm like the experienced performer she is.
