“Many of the eagles in this popular wintering area are resident New York State birds. A "resident" bird does not migrate; it stays in the state all year. This is evident by the sky-blue leg band they wear, signifying them as "New Yorkers."

Peter Nye and his team have banded these birds as nestlings over the years. The Mongaup area also regularly attracts birds from other states: purple-banded birds from Michigan, black-banded birds from Connecticut, and gold-banded birds from Massachusetts. Why is this area so attractive to bald eagles? Let’s take a closer look. Water from the Mongaup River was dammed up in 1926. The dam generates hydro electricity that powers parts of NY state. Below the dam in the Swinging Bridge Reservoir the water is open all year round. Why would that attract eagles?”

“More and more, companies are capitalizing on post-election liberal guilt—using the current political climate as a means to increase monetary gains. With advertisements or socially-minded products, these companies address complex social issues in a superficial way. But more than being tone-deaf, this strategy is potentially harmful: Instead of encouraging genuine civic engagement, it promises to ‘raise awareness’ through monetary transactions. The narrative shifts from the importance of the cause to how great the company is for being socially conscious (woke). Ultimately, this strategy is damaging because it focuses on the feelings of the individual consumer rather than the collective whole.”
