Eagles at Voyageurs


Biologists with Voyageurs National Park says they've identified 72 bald eagle nests within the park as part of their spring aerial survey.

Six new sites were found, but seven identified in previous surveys no longer exist.

34 of existing ones are being occupied by eagles incubating eggs.

It's prompted the Park to close four of its day-use, camping and houseboat sites temporarily during the nesting period.
