Midwinter bald eagle survey conducted
This year's midwinter bald eagle
urvey conducted Jan. 10 along the
Missouri River revealed 61 bald ea-
gles, slightly above-average since
e survey started in 1986.
Patrick T Isakson, conservation
iolodst with the North Dakota
Game and Fish Department, said the
urvey route from Bismarck to the
Garrison Dam is conducted at the
ame time each year. and in coordi-
/oation with other surveys nation-
?
wide.
"Conducting the surveys close to
the same day throughout the nation
reduces the number of eagles that
may be counted by other surveys as
eagles tend to move around," Isak-
son said.
Large numbers of waterfowl are
allowing a high number of bald ea-
gles to winter in the state. "A change
in weather conditions will force wa-
terfowl to migrate further south.
thus the eagles will follow," lsakson
said.
Eagles are relatively easy to spot
as they prefer to perch in large cot-
tonwood trees along the river. Adult
bald eagles have a white head and
tail and a dark brown body, while
immature bald eagles are brown
with irregular white plumage.
Golden eagles, which are also
counted, are dark in color and have
a gold cap on their head.

Lack of tru., t spawns t
"'Hey! What you guys doing
down there'?"
"We're digging out space for an-
other vault?"
"Nobody is supposed to know
about these vaults under the floor of
the Capitol. Who told you about
them?"
"The state treasurer, that's who.
And who are you?"
"I'm the watchman who's sup-
posed to be guarding this place. And
who are you?"
"We are deputies of the state
treasurer working down here to ex-
pand the vault space before the San-
hedrin votes to put more money in
storage."
"'It's not the Sanhedrin, stupid.
It's the Legislature."
"Sorry. I know more Bible than
government - whoever makes the
rules and regulations."
"'How many of you guys are
down there?"
"Two us - one to dig and one to
haul dirt. When my bucket is full, I
take the rope ladder up and dump the
dirt somewhere. It's easier to spread
the dirt when the Legislature is up
there. Now. Mr. Watchman, we ap-
preciate the work but I would like to
know why we need so many vaults
down here."
"What's your complaint?"
"'First, we have two big vaults
marked 'Rainy Day Fund.' We have
JSt funds
so much money saved for rainy days
that Noah the Nervous has started
building a new ark."
"That's only two vaults."
"I haven't even started to tell you
how many other vaults are down
here• We have a really big one with
a sign that says: "Heritage Fund - Do
Not Open Until 2017.' What's that
all about?"
"That's oil money. It's locked up
by the state constitution so the Leg-
islature can't spend it until 2017.'"
"Who doesn't trust the Legisla-
ture with the money?"
"In this case, it's the Legislature.
They put this constitutional amend-
ment on the ballot to keep them-
selves from spending it."
"If they can't trust themselves
with the oil money, how can they
trust themselves with the sales tax
money?"
"'Don't ask me. I'm only a watch-
man. I guess it's one of those lnyste-
rious twists of the mind you find in
legislatures."
"Hey, Mr. Watchman, this is the
guy down here doing the digging.
The way 1 figure it they've never
seen so nmch money in their lives
and they got so scared they wanted
to bury it in a root cellar. And here
we are 30 feet under the Capitol
basement nmking an official state
root cellar."
"When are you ,,uys. coming up?
l'm getting nervous. This is sup-
posed to be a secret cache and I don't
want it to =,,et discovered on my
watch."
"There are more vaults down
here. We have a little one marked
"Common Schools Trust Ftmd.'
Then there's one marked "For Oil
Counties Only." Here's one called
the "Resources Trust Fund." If we
have all these dedicated funds be-
cause we can't trust ourselves with
the money shouldn't they be called
mistrust funds?
"Hey, Mr. Watchman. it's the dig-
ger again. Why didn't they just
make one big vault in the first place
and call it the 'General Trust Fund'?"
"That takes thinking ahead and
some of us have trouble with that."
"Do you know why we were
hired to dig out space for another
huge vault? What's going in here'?"
"Well. the legislators still have
more money than they know what to
do with so the state treasurer wants
to be prepared for a new trust fund."
"Mr. Watchman, the Capitol will
eventually collapse if we keep dig-
ging like this."
"One problem at a time. Just keep
digging and get out of here."
