"Few things delight residents of Toronto more than unexpected animals in
unexpected places.

When a family of foxes took up residence beneath a boardwalk during the
coronavirus pandemic, thousands flocked to the beach for a glimpse of the kits.
When a beaver waddled throughout the city’s downtown core with a large branch
in its mouth, children excitedly cheered on the determined rodent. And even
when a raccoon plunged parts of Toronto into darkness, the urban critters were
celebrated for their wily, indefatigable character.

Now, there are new residents: a pair of bald eagles are nesting for the first
time in the city’s recorded history. Their presence underscores the dramatic
return of a bird nearly pushed to extinction and of the improving health of
Toronto’s sprawling green spaces and waterways.

Bald eagles, a bird perhaps more associated with the imagery of North America
than any other fauna, are a rare ecological success story."
