It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane—No, It’s an Eagle! Bald eagles were once so endangered that there was discussion about whether to replace them as America’s national symbol. Join Ginny Apple, a Master Wildlife Conservationist with the State Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, for an engaging talk about these magnificent birds of prey, their ongoing recovery as a species, and Connecticut’s healthy eagle population — a remarkable comeback story. Ginny will discuss the bald eagle, its resurgence in Connecticut, and its valuable contributions to our ecosystem. The presentation will include a slideshow showcasing these fascinating birds.
