A legend has pass away, I remember a few years back watching videos of her at the beach she was having a ball. The streatch of beach would be closed for a few hours so Harriet & some of the others could enjoy the sun and cool off. Harriet, Wabasha center's oldest eagle, has died WABASHA — Harriet, the oldest eagle at the National Eagle Center in Wabasha, has died. She was 35. Harriet came to the center in 2000. She had been hit by a car and was rescued, but because of her injuries she couldn't be released back into the wild. "For more than 15 years, Harriet was a steadfast part of the National Eagle Center experience, inspiring thousands of people each year," Center Director Rolf Thompson said. She got her name after local students were asked to write an essay about a famous American. A first-grader wrote about famed Civil War-era abolitionist and humanitarian Harriet Tubman, and the eagle got her name. As an eagle ambassador, she traveled to New York and Los Angeles, and in 2007 she appeared in Washington, D.C., to celebrate the removal of the bald eagle from the endangered species list. Harriet was hatched in 1981 in a nest in Vilas County, Wis. and was leg banded as an eaglet. When she was hit by a car, the man who rescued her was the same one who had banded her. She had a distinctive feather tuft on her head because of scar damage from the collision. Her image was used on the state's Support Our Troops license plate. Harriet was retired in 2015 because of age and arthritis. She couldn't eat in the past several days and couldn't get her medications. On Wednesday, the bird was taken to The Raptor Center at the University of Minnesota where she was euthanized. "We believe the kindest thing to do was to keep her from a painful end and let her die peacefully in expert care," Thompson said. Wild eagles generally don't live for more than 25 years, he said. A video of Harriet's life is available on the center's web page, http://www.nationaleaglecenter.org. |

https://secure.audubon.org/site/Advocac ... on&id=2248 Bald and Golden Eagles at Risk New rules proposed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will not adequately protect Bald and Golden Eagles. The agency charged with protecting America’s birds and wildlife issued new regulations that will grant wind companies 30-year permits to kill Bald and Golden Eagles—with virtually no proven mitigation options available to protect eagles and no real oversight of the wind industry’s efforts to mitigate eagle deaths. Please send your public comments to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service today to oppose these 30-year permits. You can send the sample comments below, or edit with your own words for even greater impact. The deadline to comment is July 5. NOTE: Your name and address will automatically be added to the bottom of the letter and your comment will become part of the public record |
