Annual release of California condors into the wild set for September 26, 2015 in Arizona. That would really be something to witness.

Spectacular!!!
Thanks for posting this, T40.  :)

Nice but short story of an eagle rescue in Maine. Never could get the video to play, though.

Good question!!!  Is an eagle nest considered to be "inactive" when eagles aren't there because the nesting season is over?  The answer must be "Yes" according to this Alaska construction company.

T40, is the link in your post here the one you meant to include?  I'm getting a story about "Attacking acute myeloid leukemia" when I click on that link.
