Observation details
Click on the image below for a Flickr video, showing three chicks in the nest and one adult perched above the nest and flying off a couple of times: The nest also includes a third chick, which could be from a late hatched Bald Eagle egg, but is very likely a different species, possibly a Red-tailed Hawk. Compared to the Bald Eagle chicks this chick is much smaller overall with a smaller bill and white, not black plumage. It was first observed on Tuesday, May 14: ebird.org/checklist/S174606582 First eBird report of a Bald Eagle chick: April 28, 2024: ebird.org/checklist/S170847107
