September 25, 2013 Bird Presentation At Middle School |
The Bartlesville based George Miksch Sutton Avian Research Center brought several birds and animals to the Collinsville Middle School Wednesday September. 25, 2013. None was more spectatular than the American Bald Eagle. Although most folks in Oklahoma may have never heard of the University of Oklahoma affiliated research center they say they are world renowned for their work in helping to restore the bald eagle from near extinction several years ago to much healthy numbers today. The pesticide DDT was banned in 1972 and the bald eagle was placed on the endangered species list in 1978 (according a 2007 USA Today Story). The Sutton Center was founded in 1983 with the mission of finding cooperative conservation solutions for birds and the natural world through science and education (according to their web site). | |||
