The Washington Post reported today, "Since the first Earth Day, in 1970, environmental laws have helped clean up rivers across the country, including the once-abysmal Potomac. The banning of the pesticide DDT in the 1970s helped bring back the bald eagle, which has now re-colonized Washington's urban core."
And, if ever visiting sunny Naples, Florida, the fifth hole at Foxfire Country Club is also home to a family of thriving adult bald eagles, recently welcoming two eaglets into their family nest. One winter tenant at the club resides on the third hole and remarked seeing the adult eagles fish in the nearby pond to provide food to their kin.
According to the club's general manager, "An annual tenant, has taken a series of home videos of the adventures of the two eaglets at Foxfire preparing for flight. He captured their misadventures with their parents who were doing the best they could raising a family at Foxfire."
Check out the eagles in flight and at rest in a public nine-part video series, here.
