Europe's Key Animals 'Making a Comeback'
Some of Europe's key animals have made a comeback over the past 50 years, a report suggests. Conservationists say species such as bears, wolves, lynx, eagles and vultures have increased in numbers.
In 1973, the state's natural resources department was able to find just 108 breeding pairs in the state. Today, Wisconsin's population of bald eagles is soaring, and state officials said this week that eagles are occupying nests in nearly every county of the state.

This year's eagle population is expected set a record — more than 1,337 pairs.
Populations of osprey, another fish-eating bird of prey, also have been on the rise.
