Introducing the Brooks Island Bald Eagle Pair


    

Only a national park since late 2020, the New River Gorge National Park and Preserve is home to one of the oldest rivers in the country. This newest national park in the United States was chosen by some bald eagles as their home at least ten years earlier. The mile long Brooks Island is the nesting site and can be seen from Brooks Overlook located on WV-20.

Social Media Description

Are you a bird lover?

We are not avid bird watchers like some people that we know or have met, but we do love seeing beautiful birds. It's usually the brightly colored birds that catch my attention.

While driving in America's newest national park, New River Gorge National Park and Preserve, we stopped at Brooks Overlook. I was reading the sign at the overlook, and noticed a section about an eagle's nest on Brooks Island. The narrow island is visible from the overlook, so I knew that I had to find the nest.

After telling Scott, we both began our search, and we actually spotted the nest at just about the same time. After finding the nest, we realized that there were two bald eagles perched on nearby branches. How cool - certainly not something that we expected to see!

What was your most recent unexpected find?
