Cross another item off of President Bush's to-do list before he leaves the White House: hobbling the Endangered Species Act and allowing federal agencies to gauge the environmental impact of their projects for themselves.

BEatKI The sky was so unsheltered the air so towering. I think I saw one circling the horizon really, just a hope like a national myth- emarginated. We wanted to experience the majesty but the camera and binoculars caught something else a ghost in the lens something not rare but nevertheless clinging distantly to the present.

By Paul Tolme Calm-water kayak tours are like a nature hike on water, offering the chance to see wildlife and view landscapes unreachable on foot. Void of running rapids or raging surf, calm-water tours are ideal for first-timers. Here are a few locations where beginners can get their paddles wet. Escape the crowded roads of Yellowstone National Park while gliding across Yellowstone Lake, whose 136 miles of shoreline make up the nation’s largest body of fresh water above 7,000 feet. The park’s animals and geology are on full display here. Bald Eagles and osprey hunt for fish, playful otters poke their heads above the surface and grizzlies lumber along the shoreline ($175 for a day tour, $400 for an overnight with a gourmet campfire meal; snakeriverkayak.com). Lake Tahoe’s legendary clarity and aqua-blue color allow visitors to see down 70 feet and draw comparisons with the Caribbean—that is, until you touch the brisk mountain water that flows down from California’s Sierra Nevada and Nevada’s Carson ranges. Navigate around giant rounded boulders deposited by glaciers and land on a secluded beach for lunch ($85 for a five-hour trip; tahoeadventurecompany.com). Listen for the haunting calls of loons on New Hampshire’s Squam Lake and look for the black-and-white birds as they perch on rocks and spread their wings to dry off before flying. Best-known as the location for the movie “On Golden Pond,” the lake is a great spot to paddle and pe ... Source: www.pbs.org --- 27 days ago

This Petition is established to encourage the Lee County, Florida Commissioners to join the City of Bonita Springs in appealing a state decision that would allow construction by The Bonita Bay Group within 300 feet of a 30 year-old Bald Eagle's nest.

Bald Eagles are famed for their fishing abilities. They're poor anglers compared to white pelicans. Adult pelicans use their three-gallon bill not only to catch fish, but to haul the estimated 150 pounds of fish each chick eats before nine weeks old. They've been documented to fly dozens of miles to deliver those meals. Pelicans have the eyes and flying ability to drop precisely near a fish and scoop with its bill. They'll also team up, thrashing the water with their wings to drive fish toward the shallows where a huge feast begins. ...

I was "Born to be wild." Well, maybe not. But I can now say I've been on a hog - in Alaska. Cruising Alaska - in this case on Holland America's 1,848-passenger Oosterdam - offers options beyond sedately seeing the truly awesome natural beauty of the 49th state. There's also the opportunity for adventure. When I first signed up for the motorcycle shore excursion ($268 driver; $142 passenger) I had two thoughts: Man, that's a cool excursion for a cruise line to offer. And, boy I hope I get a hunky, leather-clad stud to cling to. Guide Don Harford from Panhandle Motorcycle Adventures was indeed leather-clad - and a charming, 60-year-old grandfather. But if you're going to cling to someone at 55 mph on a Harley on the Tongass Highway, he's your man. And cling I did, as we rode with a small group of fellow cruise passengers literally to the end of the road in Ketchikan, a fishing town (turned active cruise port) surrounded by water and forest. The others were all experienced riders (and their experienced passengers) and were excited to add Alaska to the list of places they've ridden. We paused on our ride to enjoy views including scenic islands, Bald Eagles, the Tongass National Forest and American Indian totem poles. But the fast patches of highway - only about 17 miles in total - were, of course, the most fun. I similarly skipped more sedate sights for adventure during our port call in Alaska's capital of Juneau, heading into the wild ... Source: yubanet.com --- 12 days ago

Bald and golden Eagles are protected under both the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Both federal laws prohibit the taking, killing, possessing or selling of the Eagles. ... Find more results for Bald Eagles on RSSMicro.com |

Remember some time ago when we wondered here about eating penguin meat ? Turns out it's illegal and, according to the couple of accounts within easy reach of a Google search, disgusting. But it turns out another animal you've probably seen most often in zoos and picture books might actually be a promising new food source, if you can get past the idea of dining on Kanga and/or Roo . Serious Eats yesterday linked to a BBC story about an Australian scientist making the case for farming kangaroos as a type of environmentally sustainable livestock: The methane gas produced by sheep and cows through belching and flatulence is more potent than carbon dioxide in the damage it can cause to the environment. But kangaroos produce virtually no methane because their digestive systems are different. The scientist, Dr. George Wilson, points out that sheep and cattle account for 11 percent of Australia's carbon footprint. MenuPages' very own Carolina Bolado said she tried the meat once at a game dinner, "served rare, with a mild curry sauce. it was my favorite of the night... gamey, but not tough. Very smooth." But some on the Serious Eats comments board seemed creeped out. One commenter said that from an Australian perspective, eating kangaroo would be like, "an American tucking into a nice roast Bald Eagle." They raised an interesting point, noting that many other meats have names different from the animal (like beef, venison, pork), but kangaroo d ...
clipped by: pitim Clip Source: juneauempire.com Fifty thousand Bald Eagles - plenty of them at the Juneau landfill - prove that the national bird isn't endangered in Alaska and never has been. Nevertheless, the federal government is proposing to make it a little easier to disturb them. The agency last year took the rest of the nation's Bald Eagles off the endangered species list. The agency had to make sure eagle populations wouldn't backslide as a result. Since then, the agency has been writing a permit program to allow "incidental take" of Eagles. This month it released a draft environmental assessment of the permit program. It's designed to balance protection of eagle populations "while providing the flexibility necessary for people to manage their land and businesses," according to the agency. Landowners still won't be able to go after Eagles intentionally. But they'll be able to get permits for other activities that might harm or disturb Eagles. ...
Two hundred birders, hunters, farmers, conservationists, and area residents gathered under a cloudless sky this past Friday to celebrate the centennial anniversary of the establishment of the Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge, a vast expanse of mixed wetlands on the Siskiyou County side of the Klamath Basin, and migratory home to over 350 species of birds. Once Klamath and Modoc Indian country and currently a popular federally managed public use area for waterfowl hunters and bird watchers alike, the Lower Klamath Refuge is even more popular with birds. Part of the Pacific Flyway, Lower Klamath Refuge and its five sister refuges in the greater Klamath basin region serve as an important resting spot for millions of waterfowl in their great north and south migrations, as well as the raptors—including nearly 1,000 Bald Eagles—who follow and feed on them. Friday, the focus was all on the Lower Klamath Refuge, the United States’ first waterfowl refuge, established on August 8, 1908, by order of President Theodore Roosevelt. Participants took behind-the-scenes tours of the refuge led by US Fish & Wildlife Service wildlife biologists, visited a number of conservation-oriented booths at the refuge’s entrance, heard speeches by the heads of supporting organizations in a temporary pavilion, and enjoyed a free lunch served by the Klamath Basin Wildlife Refuge Association. The organizations which came together to host the event include ...
