Fishing for the Eagles is a chance to learn about fish, practice casting, then catch fish out of Wintergreen Lake to feed to the Sanctuary’s two resident bald eagles, Nimikii (Thunder) and Waasimowin (Lightning).

 

The program is set for 6 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday, June 18, at the Sanctuary.

 

During this hands-on program, participants will:

  • Learn about what fish need to thrive in their environment.
  • Practice casting skills through a fun backyard bass game.
  • Try their hand at fishing in Wintergreen Lake.
  • Deliver the catches to our hungry resident eagles.

 

All fishing gear will be provided; be sure to dress for the weather, and bring your curiosity and a sense of adventure for some outdoor fun.

 

The W.K. Kellogg Bird Sanctuary is located at 12685 East C Ave., one mile north of M-89 and just west of 40th Street.
