Each winter when Bald Eagles gather in the Quad Cities area to feed from the open waters of the Mississippi River the Quad City Conservation Alliance hosts the annual Bald Eagle Days Celebration. Attendees of the event can see live eagle shows presented by the World Bird Sanctuary of St. Louis and live animal presentations from Jim Nesci's Cold Blooded Creatures. A variety of exhibitors, vendors and educational displays will fill the exhibit hall of the QCCA Expo Center. Admission to the event also provides guests with the opportunity to join the QC Audubon Society for free guided bus tours around the QCA for outdoor eagle viewing.
