Bald Eagle Pair Return to Chicago's South Side

Bald Eagles nesting in one of the most heavily Democratic Voting areas of the country? I wonder what Pat Robertson has to say about this. :eyes:

--So sure is the City Council that the raptors are here to stay that it voted unanimously Wednesday to buy the wooded 26-acre property from a steel company. The city will seek state and federal grants to buy the land and turn it over to the Cook County Forest Preserve District.--

1. Very cool!

Eagles are extremely picky about where they nest.

Must be good living there.

2. I've been hearing about that on NPR.

That is really cool. There's a CHA senior citizens building near me that has a pair of nesting peregrine falcons on its roof. I've never seen them, but lots of people have.

3. Eagles by the river. Falcons in the city. And....

...I think there's a harpy living next door to me. I swear, she never let's up on the poor guy. I'm pretty sure their last name is Griffin. :rofl:
