In 2016 two eagle’s nests were identified on Parcel 1022. DNR field inspected the property in 2023 to see if the eagle’s nests were still active. One of the nests could not be located. The tree supporting the second nest had fallen over. This nest was inactive and no longer able to support nesting. During the field inspection an active nest was observed within the subdivision, on Lot 1 (private property). It is possible that the nest on Lot 1 is within 330ft of Parcel 1023 (Lot 3). Federal Law prohibits any disturbance of bald eagles or their nests. The US Fish and Wildlife service recommends no clearing of vegetation within 330ft of any nest, and no construction or disturbing activity within 660ft of any nest between June 1 and August 31. As with all parcels, DNR encourages prospective bidders to visit the properties and personally inspect them before placing a bid. Please see the Fish & Wildlife section of this brochure for more information.
