Birdton – A place for poop

Well, it's official now, Brighton has gone to the birds. Any Prairie Center visitors (and, by the way, how's that PIF tax working for ya?) will see the giant eagle desperately trying to untangle itself from a pile of rocks. Now, another non-pigeon (rhymes with Beagle) is taking flight outside the Adams County District Attorney's Office. You don't have to educate me on the connection – Barr Lake is home to bald eagles that stop by once a year to make love so we have baby eaglets to coo. And I know the monument at Prairie Center was important to remind the eagles that we snatched up some of their land for a Famous Footwear. But when did it become necessary to memorialize eagles all over town? Does this mean, we will no longer memorialize Native Americans gazing into the sun and the City Hall artwork is going to disappear?
