Boy Scouts Build American Bald Eagle Nesting Structure				May 3, 2008
On May 3, Boy Scouts from Troop 950 joined representatives from Ameren, Missouri American Water Company, the World Bird Sanctuary and an American bald eagle to see the bald eagle nesting structure the scouts built mounted on a new AmerenUE utility pole.    When weather permits, the pole and bald eagle nesting site will then be installed at the Missouri American Water Company’s water treatment plant in the Missouri River bottomlands where bald eagles are often observed.      Photo (right): Lou, an American bald eagle, gives his seal of approval to the nesting structure.
Scouts attach foliage to the nesting structure to make it more realistic.		The Scouts’ patrol leader, far left, discusses the project with the Scouts.
