bald eagle nest watch

Gold Medal Volunteers: Mary, Kelley, & Ginni

Mary was at my door, letting me know the nest was indeed down. Having no idea what we might find, Mary and I made our way through the jungle of the marsh area that had two fallen nests, parts of the nest tree along with many other downed trees. And there in front of us, the two eaglets were sitting on top of the fallen debris.

Why retrieve a deceased eaglet

Why retrieve a deceased eaglet

Like a root canal or buying new gutters, sometimes we do unpleasant things because a lot of good comes from it. This story falls into that category of unpleasant-but-good events. With proper permitting, we retrieved a dead eaglet from an eagle nest, and we learned a LOT from what we found.
