Show Forest Employees Capture 7-ft. Bald Eagle An American Bald Eagle has been the center of attention at the Duchesne high school for the past week. This bird, captured cap-tured by Forest Ranger Tennis A. Poulson and Al Mezenen in Lake Canyon, was given to the school. Capture of the eagle was made by each man grabbing a wing so as to escape injury which might be inflicted by the eagle's talons and beak. Escape by flight was impossible for the bird as it had gorged itself on the flesh of a fawn it had killed, and was too heavy to fly, even with its 7-foot wing spread, The Eagle is being displayed in a cage at the north entrance of the high school. Leon Hall, instructor, states that a letter has been written to the aviary in Salt Lake City offering the bird for display there. Recently the agriculture class at the high school mounted a golden eagle as a mascot for the "Duchesne Eagles." |
