Eagles Continue to Thrive on the River
Tuesday, April 26, 2011 at 12:20PMFrom Star Tribune:
It wasn't so long ago that seeing a bald eagle was a rare treat in the Twin Cities. Not anymore.
An annual survey this month counted about 200 of the majestic birds along the Mississippi River from Dayton to Hastings. The 72-mile stretch added six new nests this spring, for a total of 41. It's another step forward in the dramatic comeback of the bald eagle, which was on the federal endangered species list from 1967 to 2007.
