Studio Broadcast: Live! From the NCTC Eagle Nest 3/27/2025

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, National Conservation Training Center (NCTC) near Shepherdstown, WV - Bald Eagle Nest The big (upper) bald eagle nest on the NCTC campus is now 22 years old. The nest was started in the fall of 2003 and the first eggs were laid in the spring of 2004. In the spring of 2024, the eagle pair began building a smaller (lower) nest in the same Sycamore tree. The upper nest is 90 ft. above ground level and the lower nest is 75 ft. above. Each fall and winter, the eagles add new nest sticks and begin mating for the new season. In 2025, the first egg was laid on February 10, the second egg Feb. 13 and the third egg on Feb. 16. Both adult eagles take turns incubating eggs for 35-38 days before hatching. Eggs hatched on March 20, 22 and 24. You can see the last hatch in this video!    • NCTC Nest - Birth of E12 -3/24/25   It’s been a busy time with all three eaglets now hatched, the nest is full of fluffy gray fuzz and plenty of activity. The eaglets are eating well, eagerly accepting small bites of food from the adults and getting stronger every day. At this stage, eaglets rely entirely on their parents for food—usually fish, but sometimes other small prey. As they grow, their appetite will increase, and they’ll double in size in just a couple of weeks!

The Service helps ensure a healthy environment for people by providing opportunities for Americans to enjoy the outdoors and our shared natural heritage. We manage the National Wildlife Refuge System with more than 560 National Wildlife Refuges as well as small wetlands and other special management areas encompassing more than 150 million acres. Under the Fisheries program we also operate over 70 National Fish Hatcheries and 65 fishery resource offices. The Ecological Services program has 86 field stations across all 50 states. The vast majority of fish and wildlife habitat is on non-federal lands.  Voluntary habitat protection and restoration programs like the Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program and the Coastal Program and other partnership programs are the primary ways we deliver habitat conservation on public and private lands. The Service employs approximately 9,000 people at facilities across the U.S. The Service is a decentralized organization with a headquarters office in Washington, D.C., with regional and field offices across the country. Our organizational chart shows structure and also provides information on senior management.
