Title: Nature Watch: How Pete Nye Saved Our Bald Eagles NY Post by: Donna on 27-Jan-12, 07:19:05 AM http://www.thedailyyorktown.com/neighbors/nature-watch-how-pete-nye-saved-our-bald-eagles (http://www.thedailyyorktown.com/neighbors/nature-watch-how-pete-nye-saved-our-bald-eagles)
If you drive to the right spots over the next four weeks, you might see 40 or 50 bald eagles soaring above your head. They winter in our area, thanks to the efforts of one man – Pete Nye, formerly of New York State’s Department of Conservation. When he started his work, only one pair of eagles nested in the state. Now, it’s up to 220. Bald eagles fly south to fish in the open waters of the Hudson River when their rivers and lakes further north freeze over. Some can also be found along the Housatonic River in Connecticut. |
