ENDANGERED ALD EAGLES GATHER TO FEAST AT GLACIER PARK WEST GLACIER, Mont.(UPI) _ They are gathering now (late October) , one-tenth of the world's bald eagle population, to dine on the freshwater Kokanee salmon heading upstream to spawn and die. There is nothing like it south of Alaska, with more than 400 eagles observed, eagle researcher Dave Shea said Named the national bird in 1782, but unprotected by law until 1940, the bald eagle has found a haven in Glacier National Park and its numbers have grown enough that it was upgraded from endangered to threatened in 1995. Eagles began coming in large numbers after salmon were planted in the Flathead River drainage in 1916. Adult eagles had success rates any pilot would be proud of; they nailed their prey in 84 percent of their high altitude dives. Their table manners left a little to be desired as they consumed a fish in three to six minutes. They roost in nearby black cottonwood trees.  |
