On April 3, 2008, we were invited to attend a special event at Colorado’s State Capital. Our Governor Bill Ritter signed a document to extend the protection of Bald Eagles in Colorado. The Federal Government is de-listing the Bald Eagle from the protection as an endangered species, which could be detrimental for the species. An initiative taken by the Colorado Division of Wildlife will continue to enforce the future protection our precious National Bird in Colorado.
Please, applaud! Good things happen every day!
This great event was witnessed by our 28 year old Bald Eagle, Adam, who vigilantly observed our Governor signing the bill. Adam was shot in 1985, when he sustained fatal injuries to his wing, which doomed him to a life in captivity. He now enjoys being pampered and spoiled every day. He has a magnificent view of the Rocky Mountains in a spacious enclosure, where he is free to move about; Adam has a room with a view1
