Andersen Windows has new neighbors—of the raptor variety. Of all the places along the St. Croix River Valley that a bald eagle family could build a home, they chose to nest in a tree right next door to Andersen’s factory in Bayport. Just this month, two eaglets were hatched, and according to Susan Roeder of Andersen, raptor experts say the bald eagles could be living there for years to come. “Since they're going to be next-door neighbors, Andersen wanted to start things off on the right foot,” Roeder said. “So we held a unique luncheon on Earth Day to teach employees how to be good neighbors to bald eagles.” Andersen invited Jennifer Vieth, the executive director of the Carpenter Nature Center, and Andy Weaver, the Field Biology teacher …
