Changing an animal's behavior is a matter of changing something in its environment, Cheney said. The professor gave one example of how scientists have "trained" sheep to dislike a particular plant something farmers could do to prevent livestock from eating potentially toxic plant material. Interestingly, the sheep was taught this lesson Eaglets may indicate recovery NORTH SALT LAKE, Utah (AP) - Two young bald eagles are nearly ready to take flight along the Jordan River, the latest in the story of the species' recovery in Utah and across the country. The eaglets so far have spent their life in a southwest Davis County nest. A group of wildlife watchers spent much of Tuesday watching the young birds, who obliged with a few waves but didn't fly from their perch. Bob Walters of the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources said the nest has been a productive one: eaglets have hatched there each year since 1996. The nest's success speaks to the health of the local ecosystem, he said. "You can think of it as the canary in the coal mine," said Walters, who runs the division's "watchable wildlife" program. "It must be good here because, by twos and threes, they're knocking them out each year." The eagles live on the 2,225-acre Legacy Nature Preserve, which provides protection in the immediate area from human development. Nearby, though, is the 14-mile Legacy Parkway and, beyond that, farms and other private land. Walters is worried that some of those farms will someday be sold and subdivided, putting the birds even closer to people. Bald eagles were taken off the endangered species list last year. Utah has about 12 nesting pairs, up from just two or three when the birds were listed in 1976 because of habitat loss, shootings and powerful insecticides such as DDT. Bill Fenimore, owner of Layton's Wild Bird Center, said he's pleased with the eagle's progress. "It shows the effort to get DDT out of the system has allowed eagles to recover," Fenimore said. There are more than 9,700 breeding pairs in the Lower 48, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Utah sees a dramatic increase during winter migration. Fenimore said more than 400 were spotted during a winter bird-watching tour earlier this year. "They have a certain contentedness about them that says Tm enjoying Utah,"' Fenimore said.
