...single day in 1994, volunteer bird watchers tallied nearly 3,770 bald eagles in the skies over Brackendale, British Columbia. Ever since then, this small Canadian town has rejoiced in the title of "bald-eagle capital of the world." Why Brackendale, you might ask? The answer is to be found in the annual spawning of chum salmon, which turns the nearby Squamish River into a floating buffet that North America's iconic raptors find irresistible. Spawning season runs from mid-November to mid-February, and the best way to get close to the eagles swooping in on their prey...

The design feature that enables these feats is the cuff - three flat tendons that blend together like a thick leathery hood covering a bald man's head - the head in this case being the smooth cartilage-covered ball at the top of the humerus or arm bone. The cuff's unique tendons apply muscular forces which stabilize and greatly strengthen the movement of your arm. (Remember tendons are the attachments of muscles to bone...
...preserved from as early as the 14th century. This fall the National Wildlife Federation will release a survey of more than 65 recently published studies showing elevated mercury in more than 40 species, many of which had been thought to be in little danger. Some, including common loons and bald eagles, are already showing signs of behavioral and reproductive changes associated with mercury poisoning...
