La Crosse, WI | Where are the eagles?

The cold weather has frozen lakes over, making it difficult for eagles to catch their dinner.

Manthey says, "We had a pretty early fall, early freeze up. Not much for them to fish in."

They're food source is also limited in our area.

DNR Fisheries Biologist Dave Heath says, "One of their primary food is gizzard shards which is a fish that live in Wisconsin rivers. It's really low right now."

The gizzard shad's population is low because last winter's harsh weather left fewer ones to reproduce.

Heath says, "Last winter the winter of 2007- 2008 was bad like this one. There was heavy snowfall, there was thick ice, and it doesn't do well for this and when the weather gets really cold the shad starts to go because oxygen starts to go because of ice and snow back on the rivers and they die."

Australian Climate Madness: Turnbull - more of a Greenie than Rudd

This is a very disappointing day for climate change policy in Australia. We are now in a position where only one (small) party, the Nationals, has the guts to oppose Rudd's pointless ETS (and despite Turnbull officially reserving his position on it, we know full well he won't oppose it outright).
