#Repost @aefeagles with @make_repost ・・・ AEF was so inspired by the story of how the Claussen family provided a connection for the public to enjoy nature and to honor the ecosystems present in this very unique piece of land, we had a heartfelt desire to honor them as well. And so, we present DC (Denali-Claussen).

🦅Back in 2018, Lady Independence tended to her trio of eggs on March 30th. 🦅 TEN years prior, 2008, she was within one of a trio of eggs being incubated by Franklin (Frank) & Independence (Indy). Don’t tell her that she’s almost 12 yrs old! 🤫 Time flies! ©️2018 American Eagle Foundation #ladyindependence #sirhatcherII #smeaglets #smeaglecam #smokymountaineagles #smokymountains #eagles #baldeagles #AEF #aefeagles #americaneaglefoundation #raptors #tennessee #hdontap 
#Repost @aefeagles with @get_repost ・・・ It's hummingbird season! Though hummingbirds may not be raptors, these birds may nest close to birds of prey for protection, and so they are also close to our hearts. Unfortunately, we can unintentionally hurt the little zoomers by putting out nectar with red dyes or by failing to change feeders frequently enough. A simple solution of white cane sugar is all that's needed, and we recommend that you clean and change out your feeders every other day during hot weather to keep your hummingbirds healthy! For additional information on how to attract these enchanting visitors to your backyard, we recommend this resource from the University of Tennessee's Institute of Agriculture: https://extension.tennessee.edu/publications/Documents/W305.pdf

Dollywood delays season opening but we can trust that the Eagle Mountain Sanctuary eagles and Wings of America birds remain AEF’s top priority there! #Repost @dollywood with @get_repost ・・・ The coronavirus pandemic is an escalating and ever-changing issue we continue to evaluate. As a result, the Dollywood Company is delaying the opening of its Dollywood theme park to guests for the next two weeks beginning tomorrow (March 14). Dollywood’s DreamMore Resort and Spa, and Dollywood’s Smoky Mountain Cabins will remain open at this time. https://www.dollywood.com/Plan-Your-Visit/Coronavirus-Update
