Dublin Names Two Baby Eagles

Two baby golden eagles born in a Dublin nest visible on the Web for years have been given names picked by the public.
 
The Contra Costa Times says the monikers Coco and Bellaboo were picked at random by a City Council drawing out of 230 entries.

Other names with repeat entries were Patrick, Goldie, Lucy and Dublin.

The eaglets are the new offspring of Bella, the mother eagle, who has nested in a tree at the same protected spot in eastern Dublin for more than two decades even as neighborhoods grew around her.
 
Her nest is visible on a public webcam that allows city employees to make sure that people aren't trespassing into the preserve and bothering the eagles.
 
The newspaper says the fluffy young eagles are growing well.
