The Massachusetts Audubon Society is hosting the 4th annual Merrimac River Eagle Festival this weekend. There will be tours, eagle demonstrations, and activities for children.
The bald eagle's name comes from its white head, but not because it appears bald (without hair), as many people assume. The word bald (Middle English: balled) used to mean "white." It is the national bird of the United States, chosen instead of Benjamin Franklin's choice of the turkey.
The MA Audubon Society also runs Drumlin farm, which BPPG mentioned a few weeks ago.
