DANVILLE -- Wednesday, fourth graders got a lesson that was "for the birds." Danville Area Community College held this year's Eagle Day. Falcons, owls and bald eagles flew over the students to "ooh's" and "ahh's."

Throughout the day, kids learned the diversity of each bird. They were brought in by the World Bird Sanctuary which helps injured birds.
