Another Day at the Capitol

by Sean Doherty

This picture is actually from a rather unique day at the Capitol- commemorating legislation signed by Gov. Ritter that imposes a $1,000 to $100,000 fine, up to one year imprisonment, and 20 hunting license assessment points for illegal hunting, taking, or possessing a bald eagle.

Bald Eagle

That is a real, live eagle. And seeing this majestic bird, only twenty feet away from me, was simply beautiful. My hat is off to Rep. Solano and the other legislators who worked hard to protect our national bird!

    These majectic birds can sleep better at night knowing that important gov’t measures of protection have now been put in place. Anyone reading this blog should look into Birds of Prey programs in their state and throughout the country and other wildlife preserves, etc.
