Wolf River Eagles 2012

On June 2nd 2012 a small but caring group met under the nest and started the day for banding the 2 eagle chicks in the nest.
MJ Electric and lineman Dan Ver Hagen were on site with the bucket truck and we were ready to roll.
The 2 chicks were young enough they did not object one bit. Had they been older it would have been more of a issue.

This may seem to be an easy project, but it is not. It takes a great group to pull this off. This is never an "I" project. It takes of lot of "WE" people. Thanks to all of you that made this happen.
