The bald eagle pair in Harmar has drawn much-deserved attention from the public. Their highly visible location allows people to view and keep tabs on them.
But few people know of the bald eagle nest on Beaver Run Reservoir in Washington Township, where the birds have been for more than 10 years. The Beaver Run nest — in the same tree since 2007 — is active with the female currently incubating eggs. These birds are very isolated.

Amid the blasting and bulldozers at the future site of Rollins Ford Park in Nokesville, a pair of American bald eagles have built a nest and mated for life.
So far, the two seem unfazed by the ground-shaking explosions around them.
Bald eagles were once on the verge of extinction due to declining fish and waterfowl populations, as well as the widespread use of the pesticide DDT that contaminated rivers and streams in the 1960s.

The Wildlife Center of Virginia has taken this eagle—now in Stafford—under its wing.
A bald eagle that became something of an avian celebrity after its mother was struck by a plane in Norfolk has settled in Stafford County for now.
The Wildlife Center of Virginia—which rescued the female eagle and her two siblings—has been tracking the bird, dubbed NX, for nearly two years.
It’s only the second time the nationally recognized wildlife center in Waynesboro has tracked one of its rehabilitated raptors.
“We did this on a golden eagle a couple of years ago” in conjunction with the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, said Randy Huwa, the wildlife center’s executive vice president.
The center chose to track NX because of her unique history.
She’s “certainly had an unusual life,” said Huwa.

SMITHVILLE, Mo. — Agents for the Missouri Department of Conservation and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service are offering up a reward for information that leads to the arrests of the people who shot two bald eagles.
On Jan. 17, Conservation Agent Vincent Crawford found a dead eagle with a gunshot wound near the Panther Creek low water crossing on Toledo Drive in Caldwell County. Crawford found the eagle after receiving a citizen tip.
