Buddy has appeared at several previous Eagle Festivals. This year, Lauren Edzenga, the Outreach Educator for the Wildlife Center of Virginia , will join us in a Zoom program during which she will show Buddy live and on-camera while she discusses the lives of Bald Eagles. The Friends of Mason Neck State Park are presenting this program without charge, thanks to the generosity of our donors and members.
