HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Happy Birthday to our own Mrs. Dyer - Sunday, March 29th! We love you!

Website to Try: Eagle Cam

At the Sutton Center in Oklahoma, a Bald Eagle nest cam provides an intimate view of a wild Oklahoma Bald Eagle nest. Children and adults from Oklahoma and around the world can observe life in an eagle nest, and scientists can make observations that will help us better understand the life history of our national symbol. This nest is on OG&E property at Sooner Lake near Stillwater, Oklahoma. The original dead nest tree used by this pair of eagles fell down. OG&E, with technical assistance from the Sutton Center and financial assistance from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, erected an artificial tower which these eagles have adopted successfully.
