After 3 years, American bald eagle love birds have an eaglet in Shelby Township

After three years of challenges, including failed nesting attempts due to storms and predators, the American bald eagles Peter and Sarah in Shelby Township's Holland Ponds Park successfully fledged an eaglet in 2026. The pair, named in honor of local Underground Railroad operators, demonstrated strong site fidelity despite previous setbacks. The park, once a Superfund site, has been restored into a natural habitat.
