2 bald eagles hatch at Dallas-area wetland center
COMBINE, Texas - North Texas is now home to two new baby bald eagles.
What's new:
On Wednesday afternoon, the eaglets hatched in their nest at the John Bunker Sands Wetland Center in Combine, about 25 miles south of Dallas.
The center said they had been developing in a nest at the wetland center since mid-December.

Dig deeper:
According to the John Bunker Sands Wetland Center, adult bald eagles began nesting on a high-voltage transmission tower in the wetland in 2011.
However, wildlife experts were worried about the nests’ proximity to the electricity. So, in 2014, they worked to build a replica tower and move the original nest.
Since then, the wetland center has recorded 21 eaglet hatchings and 18 successfully fledged offspring.

The Dallas Park and Recreation Department says that almost two-thirds of the family's nest, located at Lake Highlands and N Buckner Boulevard, was destroyed.
"With abundant food and water and protected habitat, the wetland is helping to sustain the remarkable recovery of this iconic species once in danger of extinction," the center’s website states.
