Look up in the sky! It is something that scientists thought could never happen.\n\n\nHigh above the banks of the Mississippi river, a nest holds the secret life of one of America\u2019s most patriotic creatures. Their story puzzles scientists, reinforces indigenous wisdom, and wows audiences, all thanks to a park ranger named Ed, and a well-placed webcam. If you want to spoil the mystery, here ya go: it\u2019s a bald eagle. Actually, it\u2019s three bald eagles. A mama bird and daddies make a home together for over a decade and give new meaning to our national symbol. \n\nLearn about the storytellers, listen to music, and dig deeper into the stories you hear on Terrestrials with activities you can do at home or in the classroom on our website, Terrestrialspodcast.org. \n\nWatch \u201cI Wanna Hear the Eagle\u201d and find even MORE original Terrestrials fun on our Youtube.\n\nAnd badger us on Social Media: @radiolab and #TerrestrialsPodcast.\n\nSpecial thanks to Abigail Miller, Laurel Braitman, Stan Bousson, Molly Webster, and Maria Paz Gutierrez.\n\nWe have some exciting news!
