Fellow birders: Please join us at the Mendenhall Glacier Visitor
Center Friday night January 13 at 6:30pm and repeat at 8pm for the
following free Fireside Lecture and multimedia presentation:
"Bald Eagles: local residents to international travelers"
US Fish and Wildlife Service researcher Stephen B. Lewis details his
studies of bald eagles at the Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center’s
Friday, January 13 Fireside Lecture. The first lecture begins at
6:30pm and the second lecture repeats at 8pm in the center auditorium.
Lectures are free. Doors open at 6pm.
Bald Eagles are known to range widely throughout the year. As part of
two projects, Stephen has applied GPS transmitters to eagles in Icy
Bay and near several airports (including Juneau) to understand their
space use and to document their movements. Steve will discuss some of
the interesting movements seen from these birds and try to relate them
to food, seasonal timing, and potential human impacts.
