Quabbin Reservoir played a vital role in the reintroduction of the Bald Eagle to Massachusetts. Join Andrew Vitz, State Ornithologist with Mass Division of Fisheries and Wildlife, for a presentation on the extirpation of Bald Eagles and their steady increase since their reintroduction up through the 2013 breeding season. This event is located at the Quabbin Visitor’s Center in Belchertown, which is handicapped accessible. The talk is from 2:00 – 3:00 P.M. and is open to the public. Below is a picture of Governor Duval Patrick banding an eagle at the Reservoir.
