Bald Eagles Up Close Brings a Family Wildlife Program to Augusta September 24

Families and wildlife enthusiasts can learn more about bald eagles during Bald Eagles Up Close at the W.K. Kellogg Bird Sanctuary in Augusta on Thursday, September 24.

The program runs from 6:30 to 8 p.m. and features wildlife veterinarian and photographer Dr. Carl Palazzolo. The sanctuary says the presentation will explore bald eagle behavior, include photographs and discuss how wildlife veterinarians help care for and protect birds.

Registration closes September 22

Advance registration is required, with the official event page listing a deadline of 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on September 22. The listing shows 50 openings and says attendees should not assume a space is held without completing registration when payment is required.

Admission is free for sanctuary members. Nonmember admission is listed as $8 for adults, $7 for seniors and college students, $6 for children ages 2 through 17 and free for children under 2. The sanctuary says it will issue a full refund if it cancels a program because of weather or other circumstances; its cancellation rules also address participant cancellations before the deadline.

Before you go

Official event and program details are the best source for last-minute changes. Readers should confirm registration, accessibility needs, costs and timing directly with the organizer before leaving home. A local guide can explain the opportunity, but it cannot reserve a place, answer a personal health question or replace an organizer's current instructions. Checking the linked official page helps families and organizations make a plan based on the most current information.
