Fall foliage excursions aboard the mighty Potomac Eagle are an incredible way to experience a slice of Almost Heaven, West Virginia by rail while enjoying a unique dining venue. Come for a country railroad adventure and let our canyon eagles inspire you and enhance your connection with nature. From the gorgeous views of the Trough to the immersive river scenery found along the historic South Branch, Potomac Eagle offers a glorious autumn train ride that is unlike any other.
The Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668-668d), enacted in 1940, and amended several times since, prohibits anyone, without a permit issued by the Secretary of the Interior, from "taking" bald or golden eagles, including their parts (including feathers), nests, or eggs.
The Act provides criminal penalties for persons who "take, possess, sell, purchase, barter, offer to sell, purchase or barter, transport, export or import, at any time or any manner, any bald eagle ... [or any golden eagle], alive or dead, or any part (including feathers), nest, or egg thereof."
The Act defines "take" as "pursue, shoot, shoot at, poison, wound, kill, capture, trap, collect, molest or disturb." Regulations further define "disturb" as to agitate or bother a bald or golden eagle to a degree that causes, or is likely to cause, based on the best scientific information available, 1) injury to an eagle, 2) a decrease in its productivity, by substantially interfering with normal breeding, feeding, or sheltering behavior, or 3) nest abandonment, by substantially interfering with normal breeding, feeding, or sheltering behavior" (50 CFR 22.6).
In addition to immediate impacts, this definition also covers effects that result from human-induced alterations initiated around a previously used nest site during a time when eagles are not present, if, upon the eagle's return, such alterations agitate or bother an eagle to a degree that interferes with or interrupts normal breeding, feeding, or sheltering habits, and causes injury, death or nest abandonment.
Regulations for permitting take of bald eagles or golden eagles (50 CFR 22) provide information on eagle permits for "the taking, possession, and transportation within the United States of bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) and golden eagles (Aquila chrysaetos) and their parts, nests, and eggs for scientific, educational, and depredation control purposes; for the religious purposes of American Indian tribes; and to protect other interests in a particular locality. This part also governs the transportation into or out of the United States of bald and golden eagle parts for scientific, educational, and Indian religious purposes." The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service issues and maintains permits for eagle take through ePermits and provides additional information on eagle take permitting, as well as eagle conservation, through our Eagle Management Program.
WARNING: Our two cameras display live views from a wild bald eagle nest at Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge in Maryland. The cams will display raw, unfiltered nature that might include wildlife interactions and weather calamities that we cannot control. We have a no-intervention policy, as we are just observers.
January 18, 2021: As eagle nesting season approaches, we hope to see a new pair adopt the nest. Normally in the early winter, the couple repairs the nest and then eggs come in January or early February.
April 13, 2020: We did not see our male bald eagle this nesting season, so something may have happened to him. A pair of Great horned owls were visiting the nest for a few weeks, but it appears they will not be nesting here this season. We'll leave the cams live for now and hope that an eagle pair uses the nest next breeding season.
The Friends of Blackwater began broadcasting still images from a bald eagle nest at Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) back in 2004. Over many successful nesting seasons, we saw a total of 25 eagle eggs hatch at the cam nest, but after several failed nesting seasons, the bald eagles abandoned the nest and we stopped broadcasting. We have now installed two streaming video/audio cameras (one Pan-Tilt-Zoom camera and one bullet camera) in a new nest at the Refuge.
In the 2018-2019 nesting season, the adults at this nest successfully raised and fledged two eaglets, as seen in the gallery below. We hope they will again find success during the 2019-2020 season on our cams.
