Last year a new Bald Eagle nest was started in Alexander, NY but no young eaglets were produced. 

 Some of us in the area have been following the progress of this year’s nesting activities and on Mother’s Day I was able to visually confirm that there were two eaglets in the nest (and for the record, it was an amazing experience to finally see “mom” feeding her little ones on this special day)!

Forum member Joyce paid a visit today, only to run into 3 NYDEC reps.  They banded the eaglets today!  Visit our forum for pictures and reports http://www.buffalofalcons.com/forum/

All I can say is WOOOO HOOOO!  Two more eaglets in the world and another nest in Western NY!  How amazing to see these birds close to home and get the opportunity to watch them grow (from a distance)!
