Kansas City, Mo. – Winter is a good time to see hawks, eagles, and owls. With foliage off the trees, they are more easily spotted on perches. They can also be seen circling in the sky as they look for food, or perhaps even diving on a mouse along the roadside. Learn about the different species at the in-person or online sessions offered by the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) from 10 to 11 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 10, at the Burr Oak Woods Nature Center in Blue Springs.
