On the exhibition floor during DUBUQUE BALD EAGLE WATCH 2020
I have another photo of the Dubuque Bald Eagle Watch event from last Saturday for you. This picture tells a good story about the educational value the attendees were able to experience. The Jackson County Conservation had a turtle and this Milk Snake on display and visitors were able to touch or even handle them. Beside the birds of prey during the presentation of the University of Minnesota Raptor Center, this snake was the real star of the event. Many people came to see it and get a hands on experience with the harmless reptile. Not everybody was as brave as this little girl, who had no fear to pick up the snake and let it move around arms and fingers. I guess at the end of the day the snake was a little bit stressed but hopefully a lot more people had a new appreciation about some wildlife that surrounds us.
