Three baby bald eagles were recently born in Chicago, the first time the national bird of the United States has hatched in the city in more than a century. Conservation experts said it’s a sign that local ecosystem restoration efforts are working.  One Chicago birder captured some of the first images of two of those eaglets. In his free time, you can find Dustin Weidner listening, searching, and snapping pictures of birds around Chicago. A bald eagle caught Weidner’s eye while birding in Albany Park on Thursday.  

“You usually only see them along this river through the winter,” he said. In early April, whispers within the birder community led Weidner to a different eagle nesting at a park on the Southeast Side. “I’m sitting here watching a bald eagle nesting in the city of Chicago, and the craziest part is if this is successful, it will be the first time in something like 100 years,” he said at the time. He returned at the end of the month and recorded not one but two eaglets in the nest. “It’s a huge moment to have a bald eagle nest within city limits,” he said. While eagles are no longer an endangered species, and somewhat of a common sighting for birders, the Chicago Ornithological Society said the eaglets are a sign of how far conservation efforts have come.
