FRANKFORT, IL — A Frankfort resident recently spotted a bald eagle flying in Frankfort. Resident Joe McCormick said he was driving home and saw the bald eagle eating in a field near Wolf and Laraway roads, near the Frankfort Fire Station No. 5.
"I've heard of them nesting at Tampier Lake [in Cook County] but never around Frankfort," McCormick told Patch.

According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the bald eagle was listed as endangered in 1967. It was removed from that list in 2007 after a growth in population.
