FEW BALD EAGLES NESTING YET

Mature (4 years old+)  Bald Eagle riding a warm air thermal, Fillmore County, Mn. Took a 30 mile drive through the hill and valley country of our area.  We saw 13 Bald Eagles, and looked at 6 eagle nests.  Only one nest had Bald Eagles sitting on the nest, all the others were not in use yet, but did have adults within a mile or so.  The nest with a sitting eagle probably already has eggs.  The others will nest fairly soon. We will check the nests on a weekly basis and post what we find.
