Four area eagles join endangered species listing

DNR biologist Craig Faanes surveyed five active bald eagle nests in Polk and Barron Counties this spring. Four nests produced one chick each, one nest with an egg abandoned after a near collision with a road grader. In July Faanes plans to band the young to study longevity and migration. Last year four nests yielded six chicks. Ospreys were also observed during flights over the same counties. Exact nest sites remain secret.
