Two bald eagle hatchlings have been spotted in a Chicago park in what experts believe is a first for the Windy City in more than a century. Chicago Park District officials say the two eaglets hatched in a nest on the city's Southeast Side. The officials say they first noticed nesting activity in February and the first eaglet was spotted April 28. A second eaglet has since been confirmed in the same nest. Eagles are not uncommon sights in Chicago-area parks, but the agency wasn't aware of any successful breeding until now.
