EAGLE BABIES-2021

4/11/2021

Every year in the early spring here in Eastern North Carolina, my attention turns to the activities of our local Bald Eagles. I am always anxious to know if the local pairs I follow are on track to get their nests ready and provide the world with another generation of young eaglets to keep increasing the local population. Eagles in this area nest and reproduce between late January and mid-march. I know and track 6 eagle nests in the area. This year, five of the six are actively engaged with new births.There are a total of ten chicks in the six nests. The nest this journal is about has two chicks and the pictures below were taken at this nest. This nest is situated in the Tar River swamp and has been productive for the past twelve years.Seven years ago, nesting was started but was stopped by the nest being torn down in a windstorm. The pair moved the nest to a nearby tree where it has been successful since. Nest building began this year in early February and babies were born around mid-march. Feeding has been successful and the chicks appear to be healthy at this point. See pictures below.
