I just heard a great story on our Local News Station.
Im sure most Folks know it's the 4th of July here in the USA. A lot of people have spent the day doing the usual stuff that goes along with this Holiday. Parades, Cookouts. Family Gatherings.
Most Towns around the Country will hold a Fireworks display this Evening.
Camden, Maine however have cancelled the Display that was scheduled there!
Not because of Budget Cuts but because of a Young Eagle that is ready to take his first flight. Concerned Residents in the Town felt that the Fireworks, which are usually set off out in the Bay, may frighten, or worse, injure the Young Bird. The Eagles are currently nesting on Curtis Island out in the Bay.
Camden is a very pretty Town and a Tourist spot. (it was the Town featured in the film "In the Bedroom").So there will be a lot of Tourists in the Town for the Holiday.
It touched me that an Eagle's Welfare would be put before the Income from a usually very popular Fireworks Night. Sometimes Folks do the right thing and it is so good hear about it.
Just wanted to share the Story!
Happy 4th no matter where you are Catters:>)
