Bald Eagle over Bear Island

donnamatrix · 09-10-2015, 08:35 AM

I help NH Audubon to track some of the eagles on Winni - this is the report sent out by Audubon to the "watchers" and probably reported in the press, covering all of NH nesting eagles:

In summary, during 2015 we confirmed a record-high total of 45 TERRITORIAL PAIRS of Bald Eagles in New Hampshire (up from 41 pairs in 2014 and twice as many pairs as we found in 2010). We confirmed 30 PAIRS INCUBATING in 2015 (up from 27 in 2014 and twice as many as in 2010). There were 25 SUCCESSFUL NESTS in 2015 (up from 24 in 2014 and more than double what we found in 2010), and a total of 43 YOUNG FLEDGED (up from 41 fledglings in 2014 and more than double the number produced in 2010). All these statistics meet or exceed previous post-DDT era record-high marks for Bald Eagles the Granite State.

An eagle tried to grab an adult loon in Green's Basin last Saturday. Fortunately The eagle failed to get the loon. Since then we have noticed that one adult loon will stay very far away from the other adult and the two chicks when they are feeding. We think when the loon stays by him/herself it is acting as a decoy in case an eagle tries to grab one of them.

Son watched one last month swoop down out of a tree near the Suissevale beach and bag himself a fish.

We have been watching a pair hanging around the middle of Winnisquam the past few weeks. One of them showed off for our company by catching a fish in front of the house.
