Makers Build Man Made Eagle Nest Near Guttenberg
A team led by Male and Tim Loose created a new artificial eagle nest high in a tree near Guttenberg to raise eaglets. One chick broke a wing but surgeons at the University of Minnesota rehabilitated it, with plans to rejoin its family. The voyage to Guttenberg included a houseboat trip from McGregor to Winegar Works Marina and lessons on pronouncing Guttenberg.
