An approximately 5-week- old bald eagle chick peers out from a faux nest on Pine Island on Tuesday. It was placed there by a Clinic for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife volunteer. The eagle was found by a concerned neighbor after it fell out of its nest. The nest is right under the original nest where a sibling and its parents are residing. It is the hope that the bird will be accepted back into the nest.
