Ripley Waterfowl Conservancy, home to more than 500 birds representing 90 species, is celebrating 40 years of breeding rare and endangered waterfowl with a series of anniversary events.

Sunday, May 4th, from 11 AM to 3 PM, the opening weekend of the 2025 season, it will hold its annual Duck Day. The day will feature a live raptor demonstration by Skyhunters in Flight, a live reptile program by Riverside Reptiles, a rubber duck derby, local vendors, interactive games and activities celebrating conservation, educational exhibits and more.
