3-13-09: First visit to the nest at Higginsport, Ohio this year.
They are incubating eggs and one adult remains on the nest.
Two immatures were seen above the viewing area of the nest today and engaged one of the adults in some aerial acrobatics.
4-9-09: Three (3) eagle chicks in the nest! First hatched March 23rd so they are only about 2 weeks old and quite small. An adult flew over the viewing area which made for some exciting moments.
5-24-09: Only 1 eagle chick in the nest. Haven't been there for about 6 weeks and I have not heard anything about the fate of the earlier chicks. Contacted Cecil Brown who monitors this nest site for ODNR and was advised that only 1 chick survived. April 9th, the last day I was there was also the last date he was able to observe more than 1 chick in the nest.

On our Many Trips to Manchester Islands (on a Pontoon Boat) to swim this Summer we were able to see the Osprey and the Bald Eagles. What a wonderful sight to see!!! My guess is that the Higginsport Eagles have Possibly moved to Manchester/Adams County. They will be missed in Brown County but at least they're not that far away. Haven't seen the nest yet though.

I am so disappointed that the Bald Eagles have left Higginsport. I did get a good picture of one of them flying past our house in Levanna/Ripley back in the winter 2010 during a snow storm. That was the last time I saw either one of the Adults. Also have photos of Osprey from last summer'09 but have not seen them this year yet. We would get out the binoculars and telescope last summer and watch on any given evening, from our deck on the Ohio River at our home and see the Bald Eagles and Osprey. We noticed a large nest in a tree by the River just east of Ripley, on the Ky. side of the river. We will keep our eyes open and post any sightings. 6/30/10 Holly Kellum DeRose.

We stopped at the veiwing area March 26, 2010 note says eagles have moved to new location. Really missed being able to see them, it is a very exciting experience. Will they ever let us see them again?

Grandpa, I am going to use your pictures for my report and book on Eagles and I looked on your website and I loved the Eagle pictures. And I also love all of the other pictures. I just made the front cover of my book - I put "E"s. I think if you see it you will say "wow, Hazel, this is great." Love, Hazel

Have you been back lately? where did you get your information? Is there a website of someone to contact? Wonder if they are getting ready to branch yet? And have all 3 survived?
