Hi, I am the nest monitor for the Deerfield Beach Bald Eagle Nest. On April 10th I watched as the bottom half of the of the nest collapsed with one of the fledglings(DB5) sitting in the nest bowl. The eaglet never even moved, but I Sat there shocked! As of today, 4/30 there are just a few sticks left where the nest was. I arrived at 6:30 this evening and one of the fledglings (I believe it's DB5) was perched in a tree at the nest site. One of the parents was also perched next to the nest tree. Last evening I observed 2 of the fledglings flying over the lake in Quiet Waters Park.
The Deerfield Beach nest area is surrounded by 3 lakes....food is plentiful! I am hopeful that this beautiful bald eagle couple will return and rebuild!
