MEQUON, Wis. (AP) - Bald eagle fans have something to celebrate: the first successful nesting of the species in southeastern Wisconsin in more than a century. Owen Boyle, an ecologist with the state Department of Natural Resources, said he confirmed the birth when he watched the nest for an hour and saw the eaglet's head pop into view.
"We spotted the eaglet a few days ago," Don Edwards told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Edwards lives along the Lake Michigan shore and has been observing the nest with high-powered binoculars.
He said Thursday he's certain there is one eaglet but he can't say at this point whether there might be two.
