What do the Bald Eagle, Peregrine Falcon, Osprey, and the Wild Turkey all have in common?  All four of these species were pushed to the brink of elimination here in Massachusetts. This presentation will examine the causes of their near-demise and how their populations were reinvigorated so that now all thrive here in the Commonwealth.
