Birds, birds, birds

Members of the University of Minnesota’s Raptor Center were on the the Eagan, Minn. campus of Thomson Reuters, Legal, yesterday to demonstrate the wonders of wild birds of prey as part of Green Week activities. The raptor center specializes in the medical care, rehabilitation, conservation, and study of eagles, hawks, owls, and falcons.

But birds of prey aren’t the only feathered friends on the Eagan campus these days.

Several weeks ago, a group of employee volunteers got together to make the campus of the Legal headquarters a place to call home for bluebirds, chimney swifts and wood ducks.

Two dozen wooden bird houses, four wood duck houses and three chimney swift towers (like the one above) were constructed by employee volunteers as part of the company’s Green Team efforts. The Eagan campus now has more than 40 birdhouses available for these migrating birds.

Watch Legal Current for more information about other Green Team efforts at the Legal headquarters this week including restoring a 10-acre prairie and planting a community garden.
