Been following this on the side, wanted to put it out that if anyone is
catching any fish that they don't eat..espec invasive species...we are
HAPPY to take them to feed our eagles. We have several people who will pop
them in the freezer in a bag and then drop them by the next time they are
passing through Truro. Just a tip, if they can be bagged at only a couple
per bag it saves us from wasting them by having to thaw out a huge bag.

Another note, we also Xray them before feeding to be sure that they didn't
swallow a lead based weight or lure...last thing I want to do is poison my
eagles....many of which are here for lead poisoning already!

Thanks!

&gt; Isn&#39;t it fun about the Canada Geese Doug?<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; One group wanted to introduce Wild Turkeys and<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; all the Naturalists got against it - made plenty of noise<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; so WT went away.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Another group wanted non migratory Canada Geese so<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; they learned from the WT fiasco and just brought a couple of<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; truck loads from TO and let them go - no fuss - no muss!<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Now they are in every puddle around and the Naturalists<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; love them! Things work in wonderful ways!<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Enjoy the spring<br>
