Lawrence eaglets to fly in August
Clinton nest soon to be empty until 1992
By Linda Morrison
Special to the Kansan
A large nest of grass, twigs and sticks in a dead tree on Clinton Lake is home to three bald eaglets hatched in March.
They now are learning to fly and as expected to leave the nest by ARM.
The nest, the first recorded eagle nest in Kansas, was built by two bald eagles in mid-March of 1989. It first was found at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Bald eagles have fed at Clinton Lake and in open water in the Kansas River during the winter months for nesting. They are found in the area in early spring and go north.
"They have always come through Kansas for migration, and all the adjoining states have had nesting bald eagles," said Dave Rhoades, manager of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for parks.
Many eagles find the Kansas River, in front of the Lawrence Riverfront Plaza, appealing because nearby Bowersock Mills and Power Company keeps the water circulating, said Julie Wise, administrative assistant for the plaza.
"The eagles come here in January and February to perch along the river because the power company is saving, so the eagles can fish for food."
The two bald eagles that built the five-inch-wide, four-inch deep nest in 1989 produced two eggs in April of that year. After their incubation period, which is about 35 days, two eaglets were hatched.
"During the first two weeks of July, the eagles learned to fly." Rhoades said. "In August, they left the area."
Last year, two bald eagles returned, and three more eaglets hatched a month earlier than the previous year. The three more eagles were hatched.
Jackie Wedel, park ranger for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, said the eggs probably were laid earlier because the nest already was built. Also, sunny, warm and longer days could be the cause.
Rhoades said that in 1989 and 1990, an employee from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service captured, marked and measured two juvenile eagles.
and measured two juvenile eagles.
"Bald eagles are new in this
region, and people who work here do not have the expertise to trap them," Rhoades said. "The adult eagle stays back on a tree about 100 yards away and watches. A mature bird is more wary of humans."
Webel said, "The reason for banding them is to learn where and when they migrate and whether they will come back to this area to nest.
In April 1989, to protect the eagles nesting in Lawrence, the Corps of Engineers, who developed Clinton Lake, installed 30 "Keep Out" buoys in a circular pattern about 250 yards from the nest.
After DDT was banned from the U.S. market and other steps were taken to protect them, the number of哼les increases rapidly. Weibel said
Other reasons for the decline in population were disease and poachers who sold eagle claws and feathers on the black market.
"When the adult sat on the eggs to incubate them, they cracked." Weibel
signs and maps are posted to identify the restricted area.
"We want to make sure humans have as small an impact on the eagles as possible," Rhoades said. "We closed off a road that went in sight of the eagles. Now there is walking only."
One reason for the decline was that after World War II farmers began using DDT as a pesticide. Eventually the birds eggshells soft, she said.
In 1782 the bald eagle became the national symbol. In recent years its numbers declined so dramatically that the species was finally remained in the country, Weed said.
An eagle observation area was built within 300 yards of the nest. Morning is the best time to view the eagles at the lake.
