(Earth Conservation Corps)Justice, the male bald eagle that has been missing from a nest in Washington for about three weeks, was apparently spotted Wednesday back at his old perch. Eagle experts said he made an appearance at the nest that sits 110 feet up an oak tree at the D.C. Police Academy grounds in Southwest Washington.
