Three fuzzy baby eagles hatched in a sycamore tree in Maryland, a video shows.
The babies’ small bodies are slightly visible from an eagle cam operated in Masonville Cove by the Urban Wildlife Refuge Partnership in Baltimore, the group said in a March 10 news release.
Now the area around the nest will be closed to the public until the eaglets leave the nest.
“Bald eagles can be skittish when people are too close to their nest, and that isn’t good for the eaglets (young), so public access will be limited while the eaglets continue to grow,” U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service urban biologist Ela Carpenter said in the release.
These eaglets will likely be able to fly around mid-May, the group said.
The eagle parents have now hatched babies the past four years, the release said.
They last raised three babies in 2021, the group said. Other years, only two eaglets hatched.
Masonville Cove began restorations in 2007 as over 61,000 tons of trash and debris were removed from the nearby water.
Then an environmental education center opened in 2009. The area also has walking trails and a fishing pier.
