The bald eagle has come back from the brink of extinction in U.S. and in Minnesota. The state DNR, along with other agencies and wildlife groups, did a survey of eagle nests in the state, and preliminary findings confirm that the population has grown significantly since the 1960's, when the eagle went on the endangered species list. Richard Baker and Joan Galli who both worked on the survey for the DNR speak with MPR News. Galli says the state's eagles are doing better than just surviving.
