Harriet the Eagle was the model for the Minnesota "Support Our Troops" license plates.
Harriet is 27 years old and an occupant at the National Eagle Center in Wabasha, MN.
The kids and I drove down there yesterday, along with my mom, and visited the eagle center.
It was a small center but had four resident eagles that had been injured so no longer would be able to survive on their own.
It was located on the shores of the St. Croix River and the eagles were abundant.
I would like to go back when the weather is warmer as it was snowing and pretty chilly!

ReplyDeleteWe have a few bald Eagles flying around and they are majestic. I believe several just had some new babies this last week or two...
I've been by there so many times but never stopped in... always mean to...
ReplyDeleteI would have wanted to go up to Chippewa Falls and take the Leinie's tour.
ReplyDeletewe just went to Kennedy Space Center for the kids' spring break and saw 4 nests of bald eagles, so cool! :-)
ReplyDeleteEagles ae just so cool! We have quite a few of them at out Land Between The Lakes area of Kentucky Lake. They are so awesome to watch soaring high in the sky. Such a freedom to soar like that!
ReplyDeleteYou are now tagged. You must now blog at least 3 suggestions for saving money. It’s not because we all have LESS money than we did two years ago. We just all want to save money where it doesn’t hurt so we can SPEND more cash -- or donate it – on much more worthwhile projects and experiences.
ReplyDeleteIdeas can range from using half as much toothpaste and just see if your teeth don’t remain just as pearly white as before to saving cash by shopping for coffee on Amazon. We don’t care WHAT your three ideas for money-saving is all about (just that you share it).
I (Harriet) now have a Blog!
