“Toronto and Region Conservation Authority can confirm this is the first documented Bald Eagle nest in Toronto,” Afiya Jilani, spokesperson for the TRCA, said in an email to CTV News Toronto.
The secrecy surrounding the location of the nest may come as a surprise to some, but is easily explained by the fact bald eagles were almost wiped out of existence in Ontario half a century ago due to the use of pesticides. Since then, the bird was taken off the list and Ontario’s environment ministry said the bald eagle has thrived to about 2,600 nests as of May 2023.
Bald eagles typically nest in large trees near a major lake or river, where they do most of their hunting, and are widley distributed throughout North America, according to the Ontario environment ministry. They’re known to feed on fish, but can easily catch ducks. Man, 19, charged after pedestrian struck and killed in TorontoAverage asking rent prices reach $2,193 in February, up 10.5% from 2023
