A new nest is being constructed by this pair of bald eagles on Rt. 44 North near Mentor Headlands State park. It is not known at this time whether the eagles will actually nest at this site as they make more than one nest. Eagles will lay 2 to 3 eggs and hatch in about 35 days. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife would like individuals to know that state and federal laws protect bald eagles and their nest sites. Any type of disturbance around a nest could cause the birds to abandon the site or discourage them from using the nest in the future. Please do not do anything to disturb them by trying to get closer for a better picture by going into the marsh.
We drove up 44 this evening to see it. How wonderful! Does anyone know yet if there are eggs/eaglets?
