Visit Data Reports

Nest Visit/Observation Report Form
Thank you for monitoring! At least 3 observations are required for an active, successful bald eagle nest. One should be in February-March when the female starts brooding, one mid-season in late April when young chicks can be spotted, and one in Mid-June to July to confirm fledglings. However, monitors are expected to visit the nest as many times as needed to make complete nest observations.
