 Since their comeback from the brink of extinction in the 1960's, bald eagles have been flocking to this park every winter, attracting bird-watchers by the bus load.
300 to 1,000 eagles from California, Oregon and as far as the Northwest Territories of Canada arrive at Trinity Lake to rest and feed among old-growth ponderosa pines and Douglas firs.
The number of tourists to the Klamath Basin area swells during Presidents Day weekend and the annual Winter Wings Festival in January and February. They come to watch the national symbol, one of the most successful environmental comebacks of all time.

 For millions of gluten sensitive sufferers, eating even a microscopic amount of gluten -- foods laced with wheat or other grains -- frequently leads to illness.
A new drug called Larazotide Acetate, developed by a University of Alberta doctor, has been called 'revolutionary' for its promise to help such people to lead a normal life.
Larazotide Acetate was shown in three clinical trials to reduce the effects of gluten in up to 85% of subjects with celiac disease. The pill may offer patients the freedom to eat out at restaurants, or go to a friends house for dinner without getting sick from gluten contaminated food.
A fourth clinical trial is slated for later this year, and the drug could be made available by 2012.

 Last fall, Eric Alperin, a San Francisco artist, heard about blackberries, plums and loquats growing on public property in his city and free for the picking.
"It was great," he said. "We picked as much as we could carry and had beautiful, fresh, free city fruit," Alperin said. "I'll definitely go (picking) again." Fruit-picking opportunities like that are becoming more common, as volunteers in cities including Boston, Detroit, Philadelphia and Madison, Wis., mobilize behind a goal of planting fruit trees on public land in city parks and neighborhoods.
