Programs will be held at the Puxico Activity Center (FEMA building) at 9:00AM, 10:30AM, 12:30PM, and a special show at 2:00PM. Opportunities to view bald eagles in the wild, with the assistance of volunteers and spotting scopes, will be available from 8:00AM - 4:00PM at the Visitor Center at Wappapello Lake, 2 locations on Mingo NWR and 1 location at Duck Creek CA during event hours. Mingo Visitors Center will have presentations on the restoration project that took place on the refuge.
