beautiful bird.. hope there is a big turn out.would love to go ..but work always getting in the way.
Hooray! Please keep us posted if there is a video of Dr. Watts’ presentation. This eagle is giving Big Bird some serious competition!
This era of eagle recovery seems to be colliding with ceaseless human development of river frontage and we really need to figure out how to allow these creatures a place to live rather than arbitrarily deciding their existence is an unreasonable burden on our society/ safety/ resources.
Let’s try to get the policies moving in favor of wildlife again.
