Quoddy Eagles now on Flickr at:
http://www.flickr.com/groups/quoddyeagles/

Our beautiful eagles have just been given a group of their own on Flickr. This is a new way for you to contribute to the I Love Quoddy Wild database.

If you already have a Flickr account, please join our group and send your eagle photos and observations. If not, then go directly to our group and join, or send us an email and we will take care of that for you if you wish.

The season is underway and we would like to start getting information in on our eagle population, nesting sites, fledglings and more. So join today, send your photos and help us take care of this precious Quoddy "asset".

Thanks

Oh yes! Invite your friends. We need more observers and photographers since we hope to have a special Quoddy Eagles Day; a day when we all check for eagles, their young, location, activities, nests, and interesting behaviour in your own area of Quoddy and report this to I Love Quoddy Wild. The data will become part of a report to be prepared next fall.
