Multimedia: Where eagles fly
Click here for an audio slide show of the bald eagles at Cave Run Lake
John Flavell
Wednesday’s Earth Day was no different than any other day for two mating pairs of bald eagles on Cave Run Lake.
One pair, which started nesting in 2004, took turns sitting on the nest with no signs yet of hatched chicks.
The newest in the neighborhood, a pair of adults that moved in last year, took turns feeding what appeared to be two chicks with their heads barely above the nest, built across from the Twin Knobs Campground.
Adding to the count, one of the mature birds performed acrobatic maneuvers high above the choppy water with a juvenile believed to be born at the lake a couple of years ago.
Evelyn Morgan, with the Daniel Boone National Forest office in Winchester, and retired Morehead State University Professor Fred Busroe have been keeping a close eye on the nesting eagles since the first pair showed up five years ago. The nest of the second mating pair was found by a fisherman and reported.
They’re also excited by the possibility of a recently discovered osprey nest and a new heron rookery.
