PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Wildlife authorities have found the first bald eagle nest in the city in more than 200 years and hope the occupants will produce offspring, state officials said.
The nest "demonstrates the resilience of this species and its apparent growing tolerance to human activity," said Dan Brauning, a supervisor with the state Game Commission, in a statement Friday.
Officials are not disclosing the nest's exact location, to avoid disturbing it, but it is being closely monitored, the commission said.
