Audubon Center for Birds of Prey Taking Care of Two Young Eagles

The Audubon Center for Birds of Prey in central Florida is caring for two young bald eagles that were blown out of their nest over the weekend.

Officials at Orlando's Greenwood Cemetery say strong winds caused the top of a dead pine tree, where the eagles' nest was located, to break off Saturday afternoon. The nest was home to two adult eagles and two hatchlings that could not yet fly.

The Audubon Center for Birds of Prey in Maitland reports that the young eagles are in good shape.

The nest had been popular with bird watchers for years, and the eagles will be returned to the city-owned cemetery once they are able to fly.
