More than 20 species of birds of prey will be on display during the 15th annual Eagle Days event Jan. 23-24 at Wyandotte County Lake Park.

There will be free educational presentations for the public about birds of prey, including live eagles, hawks, falcons, owls and other raptors.

Last year’s event drew almost 1,000 children and adults.

Birds of prey presentations will be held at both locations. Those presentations are at 10 a.m., 1 p.m. and 2:30 p.m on Saturday, and 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. on Sunday.

Operation Wildlife will have live birds of prey on exhibit, including owls, hawks, falcons and eagles, and will give presentations that talk about the birds and their natural history.

There will be crafts for kids, and eagle and waterfowl viewing over the lake. The event is free and open to the public. The lake entrance is near 91st and Leavenworth Road in Kansas City, Kan.
