The bald eagle was once on the brink of extinction, but the birds have made such a comeback in Minnesota, that they're interfering with flight paths at the Twin Cities International Airport.

Joining us on the line is John Ostrom (OH strom), from Airside Operations at the Metropolitan Airports Commission.
