Thank you, Pam. One year their nest tree blew down in a storm and killed one of the two chicks. The people at the wildlife refuge nicknamed the survivor "Lucky".

Ronald Losure replied to Jocelyne Villoing:

Thank you, Jocelyne. I think this nest will be safe for several years. A similar tree blew down with the young eagles in a storm about 10 years ago, but the adults built this nest the next winter.

Des aigles qui nichent dans un arbre ? Je croAis qu'ils nichaient dans les falaises !

Ronald Losure replied to Thérèse:

Thank you for your comment, Thérèse. There are no cliffs near here. These birds have nested only in trees to my knowledge. I don't know if they would nest on a cliff if there were one.
