Thanks to the alert reporting of Joe Johnson of the New River Conservancy, we have confirmed that Eagles are nesting on the New River near Scottville, either on or very close to State Park property.
There was at least one chick in the nest yesterday, which stuck its head up very briefly, and also squirted a waste stream up and out of the nest, while I was watching for a couple hours last evening.
My records include no previous confirmed nesting reports for Eagles on the New River in NC, so this is pretty exciting to finally confirm. We are hoping they successfully fledge the chicks, and I'll keep you posted if there's any more info.
