PUXICO, Mo. (KFVS) - Bald eagles are center stage for the Missouri Department of Conservation’s February plans.

The live eagle program from the World Bird Sanctuary at the Puxico Activity Center/FEMA building, activities associated with the Mingo Visitor Center and eagle viewing opportunities at Wappapello Lake Visitor Center from 8 – 10 a.m. will happen as scheduled.
