    MIDWOOD โ€” A sighting of a pair of nesting bald eagles in Midwood, captured on video by local resident Anthony Finkel, has generated excitement in the neighborhood, reports CBS News. The sighting comes as bald eagles have begun to move back into the cityโ€™s wild spaces, with other birds making their homes in Prospect Park as environmental preservation efforts have brought the species back from the brink of extinction.

    โ€œItโ€™s an incredible thing. As far as we know, bald eagles have not nested before in Brooklyn. If they did, it was more than 100 years ago,โ€ said David Barrett, an avian enthusiast who manages the Brooklyn Bird Alert Twitter account.
