Something new for the Eagle Expo
The Daily Review/Bill Decker
The annual Eagle Expo, St. Mary's time in the national birdwatching spotlight, was conducted at spots around the Tri-City area Thursday through Saturday, connecting people with bald eagles in their natural habitat. There was something new this year: a Water & Nature Expo, which focused on outdoor recreation, at the Morgan City Municipal Auditorium. In the top photo, Brian Pember of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service shows Kortney Hillen one of the turtles on the display at the expo.
