Majesty in the mountains 🦅

DYK we have bald eagles in WNC? An iconic symbol of American freedom, we’ve been seeing more of them in the area since the mid-80s, when the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission biologists launched a bald eagle reintroduction project.

Area conservationists note a nesting pair of eagles lives near Brevard, and a bonded pair has been seen raising eaglets in Lake Junaluska (shown here). Whether they’re here to stay or just passing through, these birds of prey know a good spot when they see one.
