On the heels of news that more bald eagles than ever are nesting in the Twin Cities comes this sorry news.
SARTELL — State and local conservation officials are investigating a report that a tree containing a bald eagle's nest was cut down near Minnesota Highway 15.
"It was horrendous," said Jane Bennett of Sartell, president of the Natural Parks and Trails Coalition. She said the site contained an oak forest and white pines, is close to the Sauk and Mississippi rivers and is likely a flyway for migratory birds.
