Mr Rogers, again you find yet another way to captivate your readers. I have been to this area (listed below) that is strictly dedicated to the preservation of the american eagle. I was all of the politicians would travel to these site because it may just"Turn on the light switch" to read and understand the constitution and start doing what it was intended to do. That is the preservation of liberty and the freedoms we all should have. If you can fix an eagle then the rest should be a piece of cake right ???. Good job Dad.

PLUM ISLAND EAGLE SANCTUARY

In March 2004, the Society acquired Plum Island, a 45-acre island across from Starved Rock State Park in the Illinois River.

The island had been threatened by a series of plans for residential and commercial development. A three-year struggle to save it ended successfully due to a generous grant from the Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation.

Bald eagles use the island as a wintering site, perching in the trees and flying forth over the river to feed at the nearby lock and dam. The Society wanted to save the island not only for eagles, but to preserve the scenic view from atop Starved Rock, and to protect the Native American archaeological sites which are there.

I was traveling on a two lane highway in the UP and came upon a bald eagle eating road kill of a deer that had probably been hit by a truck. I got out to look at him and he flew to a nearby tree. I promptly got back in my car and watched him return to his road kill. This proves to me that this could be the other 10% of their diet.

They are a beautiful creature. Near us in Bay City, a bald eagle was on the dock at the Saginaw Bay Yacht Club looking for fish. I heard they have a nest across the river near Bay Harbor Marina.

Great Article. blog post - I was enlightened by the insight - Does anyone know if I might be able to locate a sample IRS 1099-PATR copy to complete ?
