I spent the day at the National Eagle Center (NEC) in Wabasha, MN, about an hour south of where I live. Wabasha is a small river town on the Mississippi has become a center for study and research of eagles. We have a lot of eagles because of the Mississippi flyway, bald eagles nesting in the summer and golden eagles wintering here from there ranges in way north Canada. At the University of Minnesota, St. Paul campus we also have the U of M Raptor Center. Lots of injured raptors end up at the U of M to be treated for all kinds of accidents, etc and some of them that can't be put back in nature after they've healed will go to the NEC. The two institutions are separate but cooperate. Wabasha is a nice little river town that couldn't afford to tear down all it's buildings during the 60's and 70's urban renewal craze and retains much of its character from the late 19th and 20th centuries. It was a fun day. Got to see five eagles really close up and spent a couple of hours in the interpretative center. If anyone's interested, here's their site address https://www.nationaleaglecenter.net/ and the U of M Raptor Center https://www.cvm.umn.edu/raptor/
