The 40th annual Bald Eagle Watch hosted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has been rescheduled to Saturday, February 17 after last weekend's dangerously cold temperatures.

The event consists of exhibits and educational programs at Clinton Community College and bald eagle viewing at Lock & Dam #13, 4999 Lock Rd. in Fulton.

Rangers will be at the dam from 8:30 a.m.- 2:30 p.m. with telescopes on the viewing platform, allowing visitors to see dozens of raptors as they congregate at the dam to feed. There will be a warming station and light refreshments available, while supplies last. Be sure to dress for the weather!

The indoor educational experience will be at the college, 1000 Lincoln Blvd. in Clinton, from 9 a.m.- 2:30 p.m. Wildlife presentations will be at 10, 11, 12:30, and 1:30, and there will be various vendors and exhibits set up. Food and beverages will be available for purchase. The family friendly event is free and open to the public.

An accessible, 11-passenger bus will be on a continuous route between the locations. For more information, call the Corps office at 815-259-3628 or the Fish and Wildlife office at 815-273-2732.
