COMBINE, Texas:There are currently two baby bald eagles in North Texas.
What’s fresh:
The eaglets hatched in their nest at the John Bunker Sands Wetland Center near Combine, which is roughly 25 miles south of Dallas, on Wednesday afternoon.
Since mid-December, they have been growing in a nest at the wetland center, according to the facility.
Look more closely:
In 2011, adult bald eagles started building their nests on a high-voltage transmission tower in the wetland, according to the John Bunker Sands Wetland Center.
Wildlife specialists were concerned about the nests’ closeness to the electrical, though. They therefore set out to relocate the original nest and construct a replica tower in 2014.
Since then, the wetland center has documented 18 successfully fledged offspring and 21 eaglet hatchings.

Nearly two-thirds of the family’s nest, which was situated near Lake Highlands and N Buckner Boulevard, was destroyed, according to the Dallas Park and Recreation Department.
“With abundant food and water and protected habitat, the wetland is helping to sustain the remarkable recovery of this iconic species once in danger of extinction,” according to the center’s website.
