Senior Wildlife Technician, Mike "EagleMan" Allen will present a PowerPoint program concerning the restoration of the Bald Eagle in New York since its fledgling stages in the mid-1970s. Mike retired from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation in October 2009 where he had worked since the late summer of 1975. He became involved with New York State's pioneering Bald Eagle restoration program in September of that year, had responsibility for monitoring eagles throughout Region 8 and the surrounding areas. When New York's program began, only one active Bald Eagle nest was known to exist in all of the Empire State.
