R.I.P. Martha
At first glance I thought I'd spotted this headline in the sports section...
Eagle Euthanized After Injury (WP)
...and that was pretty shocking. But almost as sadly, it's about one of our hometown mascots, Martha the bald eagle, who lived with her mate, George, near the Wilson Bridge. I spotted them swooping once or twice and it was a cool sight! Previously poor Martha had been attacked by a rival eagle--a result of the habitat crunch for bald eagles around the Chesapeake. Bummer.
