Why we're seeing these magnificent birds now...
A few sentences from today's article:
Quote:
"ATKINSON -- With the help of Atkinson's Dennis Krause and his high-powered Swarovski spotter scope, the New Hampshire Audubon Society has found a record 75 bald eagles spending their winter in the state...the society has made mid-winter counts of wintering bald eagles in January since 1981...
Chris Martin, the senior biologist who coordinated the effort, said the counts 'indicate that these magnificent birds are finding ample, healthy winter habitat in New Hampshire.'
"In 1982, he said, there were only two bald eagles wintering in the state."
