An Eagle Eye View - CT's Bald Eagles

An Eagle Eye View – CT’s Bald Eagles

Wednesday March 23^rd  7:00 – 8:30 pm

The Bald Eagle was considered extirpated from the State of CT by the mid-1950's.  As breeding populations in eastern Canada and northern Maine began to recover in the late 1970's, migrant Bald Eagles began to appear in CT during the winter months on open rivers and at hydroelectric dams. In 1992 CT had its first nesting pair of Bald Eagles since the early 1950's. Join raptor researcher Larry Fischer as he recounts this remarkable comeback with slides and anecdotes, starting from the earliest winter residents, to CT's first nest, to the present population of nesting Bald Eagles. Join Larry as he scales some of CT's tallest trees to come face to face with eaglets in their CT aeries.
