http://www.bsc-eoc.org/research/speciesatrisk/baea/index.jsp?targetpg=historyFor bald eagle fans, here is an update on the changed status of the bald eagle in southern Ontario - Nov. 09
"An indication of the successfulness of recovery efforts for this species came in 2009 when the status of the Bald Eagle in southern Ontario was changed from Endangered to Special Concern. This is a great victory for a bird that was nearly lost from southern Ontario, although monitoring remains an important task to ensure that this positive trend continues".
And for those searching, there are no
bald eagle nests in Cambridge, ON ..... absolutely none.!!!
(Some local folk want to morph the bald eagles into a 'red herring' for personal
reasons, hence the nest issue.)
Maybe some day as the population grows, but at the moment only wintering
bald eagles come to enjoy the open waters of the Grand River!!
