RE: [CBQ] OT - bald eagles

Group- If anyone likes Bald Eagles and is railfanning in the upper Mississippi 
valley, be sure to take time to stop in Wabasha, MN, and visit the National 
Eagle Center.  On the waterfront.  They have 4 live eagles on display, about 5 
feet from where you stand to view them.  Also two preserved in the "courtship" 
position just off of the balcony.  Be sure to take time for one of the lectures 
where they bring Harriet in on their arm.

Bald eagles are impressive ? up to 3.5 feet tall with a 7-foot wingspan. They 
can weigh 15 lbs. And their nests (as much as 20' diameter x 10' depth) can 
weigh 2 tons.
