Deas Island Regional Park
This impressive nest is
located near the entrance
to the park. Actually, it is off the island, across the road and down farther to the east. It appears to be on private
property, and is therefore difficult to get close to.
Nests (aeries) are usually constructed in tall trees beside rivers or near coastlines.
Bald eagle nests are added to every year. They often become the largest of any bird in North America.
Bald eagles lay from one to three eggs each year, with two being the norm.
Kept warm by both parents alternating incubation duties, eaglets hatch in 35 days.
From the time the parents ready the aerie and the young are on their own (the nesting cycle), takes about 20 weeks.
