Update on Eagle Eggs

Our female bald eagle laid two eggs this season, but unfortunately neither egg was viable. One egg broke in the nest, and the second egg was removed by zookeepers after plenty of time had passed. Both eggs were not fertile. We are still happy that our eagles had the resources and desire to nest.

This photo was taken during last year's annual examination. We do an annual examination on all of our zoo animals to make sure that they are healthy. We also use the opportunity to give vaccines (if needed) and trim nails and beaks.

Take a look at those talons! Eagles hunt with their feet, so their talons are their main weapon.
