Fourth eagles nest found
Fred Brown of the Game
Commission’s Pymatunmg staff
discovered the nest while working
on game lands maintenance.
“My first reaction was to wonder
if it was possible,” George
Palahumk, waterfowl
management assistant at
Pymatunmg, said. “But then I

realized that Fred was serious.
We’re all pretty excited about it
around here.”
Subsequent observations by
Game Commission personnel
revealed that there was an eaglet
in the nest.
Game Commission personnel
have been tracking down rumors
of additional bald eagle nests in the
Pymatunmg area for the past two
years.
Michael Pughsi, the Game
Commission’s coordinator for
threatened and endangered
species, said, “We expected to fmd
an additional nest m the area, but
we were looking for it farther
south. Either the birds moved
north, or there may be another
nest that we still don’t know
about.”

Game Commission officials are
also uncertain about the origin of
the new eagles. They may be birds
that were raised jn the
Pymatuning/Conneaut Marsh
area sometime in the past, or they
may be from some other area.
There is no way of determining
where the birds came from since
the Game Commission began
banding young eagles only last
year.
Eaglets have been raised in
three nests in the
Pymatuning/Conneaut Marsh
area for a number of years,
although in many of those years
only one or two eaglets survived.
Four eagles, a modern record,
were produced in nests in the
Pymaunting/Conneaut Marsh
area last year, but these birds are
not yet old enough to nest. Bald
eagles do not reach maturmty until
they are four or five years of age.
The Game Commission is con
tinuing to monitor the state’s other
three bald eagle nests. In at least
one of the nests, and possibly in the
second, the birds are believed to
have had some hatching success.
The third pair of eagles, those
whose nest can be observed from
the Game Commission’s waterfowl
museum on Ford Island, lost their
first set of eggs earlier this spring.
However, the loss of the eggs,
believed to have been thmsheUed,
did not cause the birds.to abandon
their nest. They remained in the
vicinity, and were periodically
observed carrying material to the
nest.
