The
Bald Eagle is our national symbol, and the subject of strong conservation
efforts in Connecticut. As their numbers
here are increasing, how much do you know about the Bald Eagle?
Come
and learn about the Bald Eagle’s size, its history in
Connecticut and the US, what it eats, and how it lives. Included are fantastic photographs from DEEP
of the Bald Eagle at different stages of growth, and the banding efforts here
in CT, and nationally.
You will also
learn about ‘Bald Eagle etiquette’ and when, where, and how it is safe to view
them, and what NOT to do, that can disturb them and threaten nests, chicks or
adults.
Join Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP)
Master Wildlife Conservationist Peggy Zabawar on Saturday, January 7th as she
discusses this protected species.
Peggy has been an educator and planner for CT state agencies for
over 20 years. Her conservation projects

Bald Eagle viewing site at Shepaug Dam.
The program will be
held at 1 p.m. on January 7, 2017 in the Flanders Studio located at the corner of Church Hill and
Flanders Road in Woodbury. The program fee is $10 for members; $15 for
