Story County Conservation invites the public to the monthly O.W.L.S. (Older, Wiser, Livelier Seniors) program at the Story County Conservation Center at McFarland Park (56461 180th Street) northeast of Ames. Return of Iowa’s Bald Eagles will be presented by author and photographer Ty Smedes on Tuesday, January 8, beginning at 11:00 a.m.
Join local author/photographer Ty Smedes for a photo slideshow that will reveal interesting discoveries about Bald Eagles in Iowa! Photographs will illustrate eagles eating fish while on the wing, flying with icicles on their toes, diving, catching fish, and much more. Smedes’ new book, The Return of Iowa’s Bald Eagles, will be for sale.
O.W.L.S. programs are designed for "boomers" or older – but anyone can attend. An optional luncheon follows the program at 12 p.m. To view a full schedule of OWLS programs, go here: http://bit.ly/sccowls. Lunch is catered for a $7 fee, and registration is required by 3:30 p.m., Friday, January 4.
