Eagle hatched in Ohio nest marks first in region
Wildlife officials say an eaglet was hatched last Thursday on the west edge of Lake Erie in Sandusky County. The nesting pair produced food delivery signals that day, supporting the hatch. A normal clutch is two eggs, though three is possible, and this nest was the only one in the state to yield two fledglings in the past two years. Meanwhile the Supreme Court agreed to review an Ohio court ruling on the right of criminal defendants to confront witnesses, a case arising from Herschel Roberts arrest in Mentor in 1975.
