WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP

JOIN THE COUNCIL: MEMBERSHIP DUES FOR the Ferry Bluff Eagle Council are $1 basic, $15 supporting, and $25 contributing (tax deductible). Though most people just make a donation, active participation is most welcome. With council supervision, members can help locate roosts and feeding areas, gather information on wintering eagles for a scientific data base, develop viewing areas for the growing number of eagle lovers, and encourage the reestablishment of a year-round breeding population at Sauk-Prairie. When you join, you will receive a FBEC newsletter and other mailings concerning bald eagles. For more information, write: Ferry Bluff Eagle Council, Treasurer, F.B.E.C., PO. Box 532, Sauk City, WI 53583.

Adopt a nest: By becoming a bald-eaglenest sponsor, you can help continue the important work of monitoring and managing our eagle population. Individuals, clubs, schools, and other groups can become bald eagle "foster parents" by contributing the $1-per-year adoption fee. All contributions are used specifically for bald eagle management and such educational activities as aerial surveys, the rescue and rehabilitation of sick or orphaned young. educational materials for schools, and meetings with private landowners to protect nest trees.

Over the course of the year, sponsors receive an adoption certificate, reports on management activities and surveys, a photograph of young eaglets in a nest, and a lovely bald eagle lithograph.

For more information, call 68/266712 or write to: Adopt An Eagle Nest Program, Bureau of Endangered Resources. P.O. Box 7921, Madison, WI 5377.

The wings of a "baldie" span seven feet and easily carry the bird's weight of eight to 14 pounds. It's feet, eyes, and large bill are yellow.
