The Eagle Lady says goodbye to N.C.
After more than 20 years in the Carolina mountains, The Eagle Lady — also known as Doris Mager — is preparing to give her last birds of prey educational program before moving across the country to Washington. The one-hour presentation will be held 10 a.m. Saturday, April 23, at the Waynesville Public Library’s auditorium.
Mager, who turned 90 in October, has worked with birds of prey for more than 50 years, caring for more than 80 injured eagles and countless other types of raptors during that time. In 1983, she established SOAR — Save Our American Raptors — and travels the country with her birds. She has plenty of stories to share about the birds and the importance of protecting them.
Mager insists that she is not retiring, merely relocating to be closer to family. She leaves North Carolina on May 1.
