1. During the winter months in Southern Ontario, waterfowl and Christmas Bird
counts along the north shore of Lake Ontario are finding every increasing
numbers of bald eagles. What might be the reasons for this increase?

2. At Presqu'ile Provincial Park on the north shore of Lake Ontario, sightings
of adult and immature bald eagles are increasing eash year. There are
historical records of bald eagles nesting in the area many years ago. Is it
premature to consider building nesting platforms for bald eagles? Would this
be a wise or unwise project to consider at this time?
