The Charleston Gazette reports that birders and naturalists have confirmed the presence of five new bald eagle nests in Summers and Greenbrier counties, the nests include three newly hatched eaglets.
Bald eagles have been spotted in Calhoun from Steer Creek to Annamoriah in recent years, with birder Tom Fox believing they are migrant eagles, but saying their permanent residency could be coming.
More than 30 nesting pairs of bald eagles are known to exist throughout West Virginia, found primarily in the Potomac River headwaters region, the eastern mountains and along the Ohio River.
