Year 2_Day 093



Went to the The EcoTarium in Worcester, Mass, which is a indoor/outdoor museum of science and nature, with my friends Mary and Christine.

EcoTarium is home to two Bald Eagles. The male was found in 1978 in the Great Lakes area with a wing injury and arrived here in 1983. The female was found in 1998 in Maine with a broken wing and arrived here a few months later. Both birds are flightless and non-releasable. Our Eagles are fed mice or rats and fish, usually butterfish or mackerel. We moved the eagles into a new habitat together in June 1999. This habitat is specially designed to be safe for these eagles, who do not fly.
