Bird Chick blog
I love Sharon Stiteler’s blog, Bird Chick. Actually, I love her job. And her title: Bird Chick. How cool would it be to be called the Bird Chick? I wish I was a bird expert traveling around the area. I do it anyway and take lots of teasing from my family for it. This morning Ian Punnett read Sharon’s directions to bald eagle sighting in Red Wing. South on Highway 55 past the Highway 52 split. Left on 61 toward Red Wing. Apparently, bald eagles are all over the place!
After the Connecticut Eagle Festival I had a serious jones for bald eagles so I headed to Red Wing, MN to the Colville Park Marina to check them out. In the last week there have been anywhere from fifty to 200 bald eagles hanging around at the park. One birder has discovered that a pair of eagles is building a nest across the river from the marina–which reminds me how desperately bald eagles need to be taken off of the endangered species list. The numbers are up and the longer they are kept on the list, the easier it is for people to use it as an example of how the Endangered Species Act doesn’t work, when it fact it works very well.
