The number of bald eagles nesting in Massachusetts has been soaring in the last several years.
It is a remarkable comeback for our national symbol.
The bird disappeared from Massachusetts just after the turn of the 20th century. A state program began in the early 1980s to restore the bald eagle population.
WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill spoke with MassWildlife ornithologist Andrew Vitz.
