Bald Eagle
NewsOn6 • Sat 2016 Mar 5, 2:53pm

BARTLESVILLE, Oklahoma - A Bartlesville conservation organization responsible for saving the southern bald eagle from extinction is now facing extinction itself.

The George Miksch Sutton Avian Research Center found out this week that because of state budget cuts, close to a million dollars in funding from the University of Oklahoma is stopping on June 30. That's at least 80 percent of the Sutton Center's budget.

That means most staff positions would go, along with Sutton's popular traveling wild bird show that has brought eagles, owls and hawks to hundreds of local schools. …

It would be best if they could get reliable funding from some of those private nature conservation groups rather than depending on government.

Orrrr… they might just be goofing around.
