The lead story in the Greenfield Recorder newspaper Governor Patrick Bands Bald Eagle Chicks on an Island in the Quabbin Reservoir. The Quabbin has more than a few pairs of bald eagles. The state has something like 40 pairs. I've seen one at the Pelham overlook on MA-202.
Apparently our Massachusetts Governor took 11 boats, filled with various reporters et al, to one of the 60 Quabbin reservoir islands, to do state and federal banding of bald eagle chicks. The tone of the article lead me to believe the governor has never seen the Quabbin before. As a resident of the north Quabbin, I'm shocked! Who wouldn't make the effort to tour this area?
