This is the first report for 2006 on the nesting of the American Bald Eagles here at the Holtwood Environmental Preserve. Our eagles were seen perched side-by-side, then the male offered a freshly caught fish to his mate on the nest tower. The accompanying photo shows the female in the nest, awaiting more structural material from her mate.

One nest was located on the York County shore, the other on the Lancaster County side. The York County nest, in a PPL electrical transmission tower near the Lock 12 Historic Area along McCall’s Ferry Road, has seen activity the last few weeks, and it is this one which will be featured in these weekly reports. From there, it is a 20-minute walk along McCall’s Ferry Road to the nesting site.

No eagles were seen in either nest during our first Eagle Watch, which was held Feb. 11. Scoping the Lancaster County nest from the Lock 12 parking lot across the river, I found one adult eagle in the nest, showing only her head, and definitely in the egg laying/incubation position. The tower nest along McCall’s Ferry Road in York County held one male adult, standing towards one edge of the nest and just looking around, as if his mate was somewhere nearby.

The Feb. 11 Eagle Watch showed the 40 participants no eagles at all. Since then, monitoring of the nest has found that incubation actually began after March 1. Previous indications were what is called "false incubation," where the eagle is actually lying down in the nest, but no eggs have yet been lain. The next Eagle Watch will be held Saturday, March 18, at 10 a.m. Meet at the Lock 12 Historic Area off Route 372 on the York County side.

This is the second report on the two pairs of nesting bald eagles in PPL Corporation’s Holtwood Environmental Preserve. It was taken from the rock outcrop on the Mason-Dixon Trail, just across the Susquehanna River from the Holtwood Hydroelectric Plant, shooting toward the southeast, and from which last week’s photo was taken. The road just below the tower is McCall’s Ferry Road, which parallels the Susquehanna and Tidewater Canal on which Lock 12 is located.

As predicted in my last report, on the March 18 Eagle Watch about 25 participants had a chance to see both female eagles on their nests, incubating an unknown number of eggs. It shows the male eagle from this nest carrying a fully grown gizzard shad, Dorosoma cepedianum. The next Eagle Watch will be held Saturday, April 8, at 10 a.m. Meet at the Lock 12 Historic Area off Route 372 on the York County side.

The April 8th Eagle Watch was rained out, but at that time both eagle nests were holding adults sitting very high, even as it rained on them. The Norman Wood Bridge nest showed both parents on the nest, with one feeding a visible chick. Each had an adult lying low, horizontally in the nest center, while the other adult was perched right outside the nest, being very attentive!
