Bald Eaglets Apparently Hatched At National Arboretum
Bald Eaglets Apparently Hatched At National ArboretumMatt Cohen in News on Mar 16, 2015 4:35 pm
For the first time in decades, a bald eagle's nest has been discovered at the National Arboretum. What's more is that eaglets have apparently hatched in the nest, the Post reports. America!
Though officials with the National Arboretum only announced the discovery of a bald eagle's nest last week, they've been tracking a pair of the animals for the past few months. It wasn't until recently that they discovered what they believe to be the nest—the first known bald eagle's nest since 1947—in a tall tulip poplar tree in the park.
This morning, Arboretum officials said they "they believe something is happening in the roughly 90-foot tall tree on the south side of Mount Hamilton."
