Bald eagles, eaglets found nesting in arms of Arizona cactus
The Arizona Game and Fish Department revealed Wednesday that biologists discovered a pair of eagles and their eaglets in the arms of a large saguaro during a recent eagle survey.
Kenneth "Tuk" Jacobson, the agency's coordinator of raptor management, said the eagles are on a cactus near a central Arizona reservoir.
[...] Wildlife biologists have looked for decades for a sighting of bald eagles nesting in Arizona saguaro cacti. According to Jacobson, the last known mention of such a sighting was a 1937 record.
Nice to see something flourishing right now besides viruses and locusts.

There was at least 1 nesting pair of bald eagles in my old neighborhood, and now living out in the country where I am there are hawks, cranes, and owls.
There's a clearly documented increase in bald eagle populations [fws.gov], from a few hundred breeding pairs to probably over 10,000. I'd consider that worth celebrating.
