My friend once took a tour at the Carolina Raptor Center where, upon seeing their Bald Eagle reintroduction program, had to ask, "why?" Why make the effort to reintroduce a common species?
As mid-westerners, we see Bald Eagles all the time. It seems everyone in the Cable area knows the "eagle tree" (the tall snag south of town along the Namekagon River) where an eagle frequently perches majestically. A soaring eagle is a common sight from pontoon boats, and some have even seen an eagle dive into the lake for a fish.
