Past Initiatives

Next to the mournful call of a loon, perhaps nothing epitomizes our northern wilderness more than the sighting of a Bald Eagle,  Since I started spending part of my summers on Wolfe Lake in 1950, I can recall only 2 or 3 years that we have not had a pair of eagles nesting on or near our lake. 

Eagles are extremely shy, especially while nesting, and will abandon a nest if they are disturbed.  When observing them, use binoculars and don't  approach closer than 400 metres (a quarter mile).  When passing by their nest, don't stop your boat.   As long as it is not too close, they will tolerate a moving boat that has invaded their "comfort zone", but as soon as it stops, or slows down, they become agitated.
