Friends of Irondequoit Bay is pleased to co-sponsor a presentation
called "The Return of the Bald Eagle to Irondequoit Bay". Bald Eagle expert Mike Allen, Sr. Wildlife Technician at the Department of Environmental Conservation, will give a dynamic presentation about the return of this majestic bird, from near extinction. A captive Bald Eagle, named Liberty, will make a guest appearance. You will have an opportunity for an up close and personal experience with this imposing and symbolic bird.
Mr. Allen's presentation will be about the successes and setbacks the NYSDEC has experienced reviving the bald eagle population in New York State, from just one pair of nesting Bald Eagles in 1960, to a much healthier population of more than 80 nesting pairs. The focus of this discussion will be on the pair of Bald Eagles located on Irondequoit Bay and the policies and procedures that the NYSDEC uses to protect of the birds and their sensitive nesting site.
Date: February 27, 2008, 7 p.m.
This event is free and open to the public.
No registration required.
Location: Irondequoit Town Hall

The presentation was a huge sucess. Standing room only attendance.
I spoke to many, many people at the Bald Eagle Presentation that had a great deal of interest in protecting and helping to ensure the well being of our nesting pair of Eagles.
Mike Allen with the NYSDEC, and Paul Schnell of The Institute for Environmental Learning held a very informative program on proper Eagle etiquette.
Durng the program, Victory the Bald Eagle was present and was hand fed a squirrel by one of the young girls in attendance.
The program was very sucessful, and I was able to talk to many people from different organizations that showed some interest in possibly using some of my photos for educational purposes.
I wish to thank Harlan Brody and the Friends of Irondequoit Bay for the opportunity to be involved with this program. |
