Started from the Bottom now they're Here: Bald Eagles' Success in CT

Title: Started from the Bottom now they’re Here: Bald Eagles’ Success in CT    
When: Saturday, March 4th 10-11AM
Location: Sharon Audubon Center

What do Bald Eagles and hip-hop artist Drake have in common? Both rose to the top despite the odds being stacked against them. Twenty years ago, it would have been noteworthy to see a Bald Eagle in Connecticut. Now, however, it’s not unusual to see them flying overhead or perched along the Housatonic River. Their recuperation in the state is due to a couple of important factors, with the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP)’s wildlife division continuing to monitor the species through the work of Brian Hess.
Brian Hess is a wildlife biologist with the DEEP Wildlife Division. He has worked with a wide range of birds including ducks, condors, and prairie-chickens. Hess has worked for the agency’s Wildlife Diversity Program since 2014.
Join Brian Hess and Sharon Audubon Center naturalist, Bethany Sheffer, for an exciting program on the resurgence of Connecticut’s Bald Eagles and their outlook for the future.
