Kindness & Jackson
Bald Eagle Nest Cam

This is a wild eagle nest and anything can happen. While we hope that all eaglets hatched in this nest will grow up healthy and successfully fledge each season, things like sibling rivalry, predators, natural disaster as well as territorial disputes can affect this eagle family and may be difficult to watch.

The first egg of the season was laid on February 24th, we do not know if Kindness has laid another egg yet or not but time will tell.

Jackson & Kindness are now diligently incubating. 

On April 2nd we welcomed the first eaglet of the season! Now known as OH-2

Our boots on the ground volunteers have been watching closely and have witnessed several feedings!
We don’t know how many eaglets we have yet but before long we will be able to see little gray head(s) appear over the rails of the nest.
 

 

2020-2021 Season Update

Jackson & Kindness have been a pair since the late spring of 2020. They became a pair after Kindness, unfortunately, lost her mate Justice, when he was forced from the territory.

During the fall as the pair continued to bond, they were spotted trying to build a nest in a pine tree away from Bruce Yee park, where Kindness nested with her previous mate, Justice.

AEF volunteers witnessed Jackson flying with a stick towards city hall and into the wooded area. Upon further inspection, the volunteers identified the tree where the sticks were landing. It did not take long until both Jackson and Kindness were spotted flying sticks into this specific tree. Within weeks that small pile of sticks started to take on the shape of a nest. It was amazing watching a nest go up so fast and be big enough to house eaglets.

Jackson & Kindness have continued a strong bond. Jackson is a fierce defender of the nest area and of Kindness. They continue to build the nest wider and higher, and they have claimed this new territory as their own.

In the spring of 2021 Jackson & Kindness welcomed a strong and beautiful eaglet identified as OH-1. The news of a new eaglet once again brought a renewed excitement to the community. People drove in from all over hoping to get a glimpse at the new pair and their eaglet.

Scores of people joined in on the official AEF naming contest and the community, local newspapers and social media pages were buzzing with enthusiasm. The community chose the name Erie. This name was appropriate since the nest is located right next to the shores of beautiful Lake Erie. Erie grew up quickly and fledged the nest on 6/24/2021.
