Where to Spot Bald Eagles in Eastern Connecticut
The bald eagle: this formerly endangered species is now the most well-known bird to lay their nests in the state of Connecticut for a good portion of the year.
According to the Department of Energy & Environmental Protection (DEEP), eagles begin building their nests in January and hatch eggs in between the months of March and April. The nesting season lasts from January until July, with fledglings typically leaving the nest by mid-summer.
Our area also attracts migrating birds from colder areas to the north, so needless to say that eagle-spotting is plentiful this time of year!
If you’re hoping to spot one of these beautiful birds in the wild this season, well you’re in luck! Eastern Connecticut is home to several prime eagle-watching spots. Although you can spot them any time of day, the best time is typically from dawn to late morning.
Are you ready to set your eyes to the sky? If so, we suggest you bundle up, grab your binoculars, and head to these spots for a chance to see these majestic creatures!
