METAIRIE (WVUE) - For four years now Metairie residents have been observing and enjoying a productive eagles nest right in the heart of East Jefferson. But many are saddened by the recent discovery of a dead eaglet in the massive nest.
The large nest has produced five eaglets in four years, but there have been difficulties.
“In the first year crows ate the eggs and they came back,” said neighbor Coleen Perilloux Landry, who has taken hundreds of pictures of the nest.
