Conserve Wildlife Foundation eagle biologist Larissa Smith has launched a new citizen science project in an effort to learn more about New Jersey’s eagles. We know that many teachers, students and bird lovers watch the wildly popular Duke Farms EagleCam, and now those viewers can help Larissa gather data by participating in the Eagle Food Observation Project.

In this interview, Larissa explains her latest citizen science project to learn more about the Duke Farms eaglets’ diet.

  1. Right here is the perfect website for everyone who
    wants to understand this topic. You realize so much
    its almost tough to argue with you (not that I personally would want to…HaHa).
    You certainly put a new spin on a topic that has been written about for
    decades. Excellent stuff, just wonderful!
