Earlier this winter, when Toronto resident, K.J. McCusker was out observing nature, he saw something unusual soaring above the city. There’s a good reason McCusker couldn’t believe his eyes: there has never been a documented bald eagle pair – nesting in Toronto — until now.
“Total miracle… being here for twenty years, you just don’t see eagles and I come from a place where you see eagles, from out west, so we see eagles all the time and I just remember hanging out in ceremony with some people and saying like, why don’t you ever see eagles here,” McCusker said.
The Indigenous community is quietly and respectfully celebrating what Elder Duke Redbird is calling a “ray of hope” and “a really good omen for Toronto.” He added that “In the Indigenous community, amongst the highest honour you can bestow on anybody is to offer an eagle feather.”
Global’s Melanie Zettler has the details.
