DAT Solutions

Tailwind

On my way home from work each day, driving on our new highway that cuts through the protected agriculture area in our little corner of the world, I will see scores, if not hundreds, of eagles and hawks sitting in the trees alongside the road. I remember thinking that we must have over, say, 250 bald eagles in our farming neighborhood. That is until the aviary expert from our local landfill, the person who actually studies these birds and tracks their numbers, said there were actually over 3,000!
