Four area eagles join endangered species listing
DNR biologist Craig Faanes surveyed five active bald eagle nests in Polk and Barron Counties this spring. Four nests produced one chick each, one nest with an egg abandoned after a near collision with a road grader. In July Faanes plans to band the young to study longevity and migration. Last year four nests yielded six chicks. Ospreys were also observed during flights over the same counties. Exact nest sites remain secret.

Chimney Swifts Parade Across The Sky
The author praises chimney swifts as daily deck companions and airborne masters. They hover in tight groups, forage on the wing, and nest in chimneys using saliva as glue. Swifts migrate in autumn, leaving city skies for several months, with sightings in Madison and LaCrosse noted. Mr. Robbins of Cadett High School offers bird guidance via The Country Today mail.
