PUNTA GORDA — A pair of bald eagles that have nested next to the Punta Gorda History Park for the past three years have returned — despite the bustle of activity occurring in the park.
That thrills park business managers, because it gives the public a chance to observe the majestic raptors up close — and that gives visitors another reason to appreciate this area’s heritage.
