Longtime Juneau resident Kathy Benner will take over as the executive director of the American Bald Eagle Foundation (ABEF) in March. Benner has worked with birds for over 20 years, serving several administrative and bird-handling positions at the Juneau Raptor Center.
“I have a huge passion for bald eagles,” Benner said. “I spent over 25 years in Juneau taking care of them. I did rescue rehab and have literally handled hundreds of birds.”
