I made a short tour of some of the eagle nests I know of starting at the 
Prospect nest on the Sciota river. There was one adult eagle on the nest.

Big Island WA had one adult eagle on the nest. There was a beutiful 
juvenile with lots of white all over its body flying around. as I was 
leaving the area I spoted another juvenile eagle with very little white on 
the body. 

Killdeer Plains WA now has four eagle nests. I am not sure if all four are 
active. I did see an adult eagle on three of them as well as two adults 
flying and a forlorn juvinile walking on the ice. 

Sr 199 nest. I could not tell if there was an eagle on the nest. There was 
one flying around. 

SR 199 & US 23. There was an adult flying there. Perhaps the other adult 
belonging to the SR199 nest. 

TR 44 had one adult on the nest and one flying nearby

TR 29 had one adult on the nest and one juvinile flying nearby.

SR 53 had one adult on the nest.

CR 37 had one adult on the nest.

The nest along Woodside Rd off SR 100 blew down over the winter. In fact 
the whole tree went down. I am happy to report that the eagles there have 
rebuilt across the road to the left of the barn. Nobody was on the nest 
but both adults were perched nearby.

Seneca Co. SR 19 nest was in good condition but I did not observe any 
eagles. The nest was active last month.

After leaving the Seneca Co nest I headed back to Killdeer plains to watch 
for short eared owls. I arrived at the sportsman center about 15 minutes 
to six. To my amazment there were at least 14 Northern Harriers flying 
together in the field north west of the sportsman center. I have never 
seen that many Harriers in one place at the same time. They were mostly 
female with perhaps three males and a few juveniles mixed in. It was 
getting pretty dark and the Harriers had mostly moved on when the Short 
Eared Owls came out. There was a total of eight of them.

Final count of Eagles and Hawks

American Kestrels 11
