I mentioned this past week that we may have two active eagle nests this year. I've known about one nest for three years now but last year on the trail people kept telling me about another location. I finally found it👇 and plan on monitoring both this year as much as I can to be on the lookout for chicks. Typically, I see eagles around the nest when the nest is being used so this pic is a good omen👍.

Image of an American eagle perched on a large branch above an eagle nest or aerie. The eagle is in the upper left frame and the nest is in the lower right. The nest is made up of large branches and is wide and deep enough for the eagle to fit comfortably with plenty of room to spare. Adult eagles are typically around two and a half feet tall with a wingspread of six to seven feet. Just a guess but the nest looks as though it may be roughly four to six feet wide and four to six feet tall. Bald eagles have brown body feathers, white head and tail feathers, clear, light yellow-green eyes with large pupils, yellow-orange beaks that curve downward to a point, yellow-orange legs, and yellow-orange feet that end in sharp black talons.
