If you haven’t been watching the Hays Bald Eaglecam, now is a good time to start. Sharp observers saw the first egg of the 2024 nesting season last night, 20 February 2024, at 8:16pm.

The female incubated all night long, then just before dawn she turned the egg for all to see.

One thought on “First Egg at the Hays Eagle Nest, 2024

  1. Great News for the Hays Eagles!! Our Canonsburg Lake Eagles were on an egg(s) starting on February 16th. I think this is the first year in the last 8 years ours have been at CBL breeding that they have laid eggs before the Hays Eagles.
