Earthplace officially welcomed Kish, a bald eagle, into the Connecticut Birds of Prey.  Kish, a ten-year-old male Bald Eagle from  Wisconsin, suffered a permanent disability as a young bird when he flew into a power line.  He was brought to Wind Over Winds in Clinton, CT, run by Hope Douglas.  It was decided that he should be placed in a public facility where  he can get the attention he seems to enjoy.

Visitors created their own beaks and feathers, compared the weight of a bald eagle to other birds, and learned about an eagle's feathers, food and history.  Jerry Kuyper, local nature artist, helped visitors create a 10 foot "eagle nest" for all to enjoy.
