After leaving Red Wing, we continued on down the road and ended up at the National Eagle Center in Wabasha, Mn. This eagle center houses 5 bald eagles that have been rehabilitated but were unable to be released back into the wild. We got there just in time to meet...
Harriet. I learned that Harriet is 30 years old and that while in captivity eagles can live until they are 40 or 50 years old. Harriet is famous, she's been on Leno, Letterman and she's on license plates.
She was also very hungry and got to dine on some yummy rabbit. Don't worry, the rabbit was already dead.
This is Donald. Donald doesn't have a white head yet because he's too young. Eagles get their white heads around the age of 5.
These are two of my favourite eagles.
