A Bald Eagle Flying over our Areas - Critter 100

Tuesday, July 15, 2025
As you might know that Bald eagles were included as endangered species list for around 4 decades.

Due to conservation efforts by relevant institutions, include education and community, then number of bald eagles has increased significantly.

Number of nesting pairs is only 417 at 48 states in 1967, after 40 years, the number has jumped to 11,040 nesting pairs. 

These magnificent birds are removed from endangered species list in 2007. In fact, we can have this sort of delightful sighting right over our areas.

We believe their nest not far from our neighborhood, close to Mississippi river that why we may see them flying over sometimes.

Have you seen bald eagle flying over your areas?

  4. So lovely to hear about this. We do have a nest in the city and we still have them in the forest near here, as well.
