15th Annual Eagle Day in Ferryville, WI – A Free Family Event!

Saturday, March 1, 2025 | 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM (Doors Open at 9:30 AM)

Ferryville, WI – Mark your calendars for the 15th Annual Eagle Day, a FREE family-friendly event happening Saturday, March 1, 2025, at the Village Community Center on State Highway 35 – The Great River Road. Hosted by the Ferryville Tourism Council and co-sponsored by Friends of Pool 9, this event celebrates the majesty of bald eagles and the beauty of the Mississippi River.

This year, Friends of Pool 9 introduces an exciting new feature—Wood Duck Box Adoption! Kids can adopt a wood duck box for free, choose to install it themselves or have a volunteer place it on the river, and track their box’s activity on Facebook. Plus, every child who adopts a box receives a FREE hoodie from Friends of Pool 9!

Event Highlights

Live Raptor Program (10:30 AM) – For the first time, a Golden Eagle will be featured alongside other raptors from River Valley Raptors (Buffalo City, WI).

Decorah Raptor Resource Project (12:00 PM) – John Howe and Amy Ries present “Eagles of the Mississippi River”, sharing insights into eagle families along the river.

Duck ID Program (1:00 PM) – Learn about local waterfowl with experts from the Wisconsin DNR.

Bald Eagle Nest Building (10:15 AM) – Watch and participate as a real eagle nest is built, showing just how massive and strong these nests are!

Hooting Contest (11:30 AM) – Test your owl-calling skills and compete for the title of best “hooter.”

Student Involvement & Art Awards

Middle school students from De Soto and Seneca will display their bald eagle-themed art and science projects, competing in categories such as Creativity, Most Informative, Judges’ Choice, and Most Artistic. Awards will be presented at 11:45 AM.

Prizes & Giveaways

Attendees can fill out a comment card for a chance to win door prizes, including gift certificates from local businesses and other prizes. A special 16×20 metal print of a bald eagle in flight, donated by local photographers Deb and Don Warren, will also be raffled off. Proceeds go toward keeping Eagle Day a free event for years to come!

Why Ferryville?

Located right on the Mississippi River, Ferryville is located in Pool 9, home to more bald eagle nests than any other section of the river. With over 200 active nests in the Pool 9 region, it’s the perfect place to witness these incredible birds in their natural habitat.
