A surge in the bald eagle population has made sightings a common occurance
The majestic bald eagle has become a more common sight in and around London, Ont., now that their population is making a comeback.
The birds of prey, which were considered endangered until 2023, are now growing in population across southwestern Ontario. They suffered a drastic population decline because of an insecticide called DDT, which is now banned. Bald eagles feast mostly on fish, which makes London, with the Thames River, an ideal home during the winter.
CBC London published a story about the increase in eagle sightings, which drew a great response from readers who shared their own photos.
