Bald eagles! January and February are popular months for eagle watching along the Mississippi River, as the birds congregate near open water along the river where the fishing is easy. In this episode, I go deep into the lives of bald eagles with Ed Hahn, Director of Marketing and Communications at the National Eagle Center in Wabasha, Minnesota. Got a question about the lives of bald eagles? We probably answer it in this episode, from the challenges faced by fledglings to the solitary lives of adults. Ed describes the acrobatic ways that eagles choose a mate, as well as how (and why) they build their massive nests. We cover how they bounced back from near extinction and some of the threats that they still face today, and so much more!
