Time: 11:00 am - 1:00 pm

Location:  Starved Rock State Park - Visitors' Center

          Route 178
          Utica, IL 61373

Event Description: Join us for this once-in-a-lifetime event as two juvenile Bald Eagles return to the wild. These Bald Eagles were raised in captivity at Flint Creek Wildlife after their nest at Mooseheart was destroyed in storms that caused the nestling eagles to plummet 85' to the ground. Now they are ready to be set free...

Learn about their rescue and rehabilitation and witness their release in the beautiful setting of Starved Rock State Park.

Many of Flint Creek Wildlife's educational birds of prey will also be at the event.
