Come to GPL to on Saturday, January 23, at 2:30 pm, to hear the marvelous story of how Bald Eagles – once an endangered species – have returned to the Hudson Valley.

Tom Lake, Hudson River Estuary Program Naturalist for the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, will speak about how the Bald Eagle fell from honored symbol to victim of human ignorance and neglect, their numbers so reduced by the effects of DDT that they were placed on the Federal Endangered Species List.

Today their recovery is so complete that you may see an eagle any day of the year, anywhere in the Hudson Valley.

At 2:30, kids can participate in a fun origami bird-folding craft, and test their bird identification skills with the Audubon Society's interactive bird board. Tom's talk begins at 3 pm.
