Gail Campbell has been photographing eagles for years. She found this nest in a dead slash pine tree across from Pickle & Pub on old McGregor Road. The birds fledged during the last week of March and it is unusual to have three eaglets in a nest. We’ll make a note to check to see if they return in December 2025.
