ABC7 Meteorologist Tracy Butler said it is currently nesting season.

Bald eagles tend to build durable nests that they use for several years, according to National Geographic.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said they consider the bald eagle an Endangered Species Act success story. They were removed from the list in August 2008 after their populations recovered sufficiently, however, bald and golden eagles are still protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, and Bald and Golden Eagle Act.
