BALD EAGLE

Did you know that it is illegal to interfere with a Bald Eagle's nest? Or how about if you encounter a Bald Eagle that you need a special permit to help relocate them? 

For many years, the Bald Eagle was endangered. Even though they are no longer on the endangered species list, there are guidelines and laws to help protect and increase their population counts.

​

 The Bald Eagle lives near water to hunt primary fish. They like to swoop down to the water and catch their prey. When a male and female eagle mate, they mate for life, having only one partner. Young Eagles do not get their white markings until they are at least 5 years old and travel great distances until they mate. As for their nests, they build them out of sticks very high up in trees. Their stick nest is actually the biggest bird nest in the world.

​

Bald Eagles in Wisconsin and other Northern States will migrate in the winter unlike the Bald Eagles that live in southern states.
