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.

    True...I guess I forget them. My dad, Wil-E-coyote (SuperGenius) hates roadrunners because they eat his favorite lizards and is constantly chasing them away. Saw an actual bobcat yesterday near Martinez lake, the smaller Cat is a first for me and was really cool. It froze in a small tree, the only kind around here and watched us until I tried to get a photo, as soon as I moved it was gone in a flash :) and I never got my picture.
