Good news, bad news.
Yes, it's true, that a pair of eagles are nesting in the Calumet area.
But it could be bad news -- that it's gotten all this publicity.
We should be passing the word around that it is not ethical for people to go looking for the nest.
People may see them flying around the Calumet area. Great. They fly long distances.
But people around their nest area could spook them.
Of course, if they eventually establish a regular breeding population in the area, it could well be that some pairs would nest right where lots of people can see them, as they do in some places in Florida, for example. But while there's just one pair, we should leave them alone.
On the other hand, what a great vote of confidence in Chicago Wilderness, in Mayor Daley's initiative to protect nature in the Calumet region, in the long efforts of the many conservationists who've worked so long and so hard to get nature and habitat in that region recognized and protected.
Congratulations to Jim Landing, Walter Marcisz, Suzanne Malec, the Thismia crowd, Joe and Marlene Nowak, and so many others.

There is an article in today's Sun-Times and I got a call from a reporter at the Tribune looking for details for their version of the story (to be printed).

I heard this on the radio this morning. The DJ said he read it in the Tribune.
Bald Eagles are nesting in the Chicago city limits on the Little Calumet.
Is this true?
