Community members gathered this weekend to celebrate bald eagle Jackie, with a series of wildlife education events that continued through Sunday. The programs were designed to connect people with local nature and highlight the importance of protecting bald eagle habitats.

Sunday's schedule featured birdwatching sessions and guided tour hikes, giving participants a chance to observe eagles and other wildlife in their natural surroundings. Volunteers and naturalists led the activities, sharing facts about bald eagle behavior, migration patterns, and the ongoing efforts to safeguard their nesting areas.

Organizers said the response from the public was strong, with families and nature enthusiasts turning out in good numbers. Many attendees described the experience as a rare opportunity to see bald eagles up close while learning how human activity affects their survival.

The events also included hands-on activities for children, such as identifying bird calls and using binoculars. Organizers hope the weekend will encourage more people to take part in local conservation efforts and to keep watching for Jackie in the months ahead. Additional programs are expected to be announced later this season.
