Bald Eagle Adventure Cruise
The 2018 Eagle nest has failed. We could tell as of May 10 by activity in the nest that the Eagles successfully hatched chicks although they were too small to see. As of May 14 the adult Eagles were not tending the nest indicating failure potentially caused by predation.

Join a Science Center naturalist for a special Bald Eagle Adventure to view these magnificent birds in their natural habitat. The cruise will focus on the recovery of Bald Eagles as a nesting species in the state of New Hampshire with particular discussion of the Bald Eagles on Squam Lake.
