      Thank you. Yes, we do see Bald Eagles regularly. There are three or four nest sites very close to us and one is visible from our front window. The nesting sites are used in some kind of irregular rotation. I would say that one or two adults would be seen each day and often a juvenile as well. Posted 2 years ago
