Masters of the Sky program comes to Carpenter Nature Center
Chrys, a long-crested eagle, was never supposed to come to the U.S. Long-crested eagles are native to Africa, and that’s where Chrys was hatched. But as an adult, he was trapped and brought to this country illegally, to be sold for the black market pet trade back in the 1980s. The dealers who had captured him cut off the crest his breed is named for in an attempt to get the bird past the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
