The Nest has become a local attraction in Hamden.
You may not notice it just passing by, but an eagles nest has people flocking to State Street in Hamden to catch a glimpse of the rare birds.
“I come a lot, but we come at least a couple times a week to see and now we know that there are two babies they think and the mom and dad,” said Candi Looney.
People say they've seen the birds flying around and lately have seen at least one eagle standing guard at the nest at all times, watching their young as people come to watch them.

BIRDSNEST, Virginia — Authorities say a chemical caused the deaths of five bald eagles on Virginia's Eastern Shore.
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service special agency Dan Rolince told The Virginian-Pilot (http://bit.ly/18hXA3S ) that the birds showed traces of the chemical in their system. The chemical was not identified.
Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries Sgt. Steve Garvis said authorities believe the eagles' deaths were accidental. A sixth eagle survived.
"We sometimes see one or two poisoned birds, but six? And with five dying? That's unheard of," said Randy Huwa, executive vice president of the Wildlife Center of Virginia, a renowned animal-care clinic in Waynesboro.
