SIMCOE - Haldimand-Norfolk Member of Provincial Parlement Toby Barrett is looking for answers in the aftermath of this week’s outcry over the destruction of an eagle’s nest in west Haldimand on the weekend.
The legislature in Toronto remains in recess while provincial Liberals pick a successor to outgoing Premier Dalton McGuinty. However, that hasn’t stopped Queen’s Park from buzzing about what some are calling an environmental travesty.
Barrett reported that the incident near Fisherville came up for discussion during a packed meeting Wednesday of the Progressive Conservative caucus. Barrett said no one was sympathetic to the Ministry of Natural Resource’s argument that the nest was destroyed to reduce the risk of bird mortality from a pending wind turbine project.

Hey shot two scavengers or two eagles flying over the St. Lawrence river today. Not bad for a days hunt.
Hey! Dumbass!
Harassing, disturbing or injuring a bald eagle is a federal offense and carries a penalty of up to $20,000 and/or one year in jail.
Oh! well that's two less eagles to save from wind turbines. Do you know any good nest that I can cut down. There's still a couple that are flying around yet, but not for long after I get them in my sights.
