Eagles at Clinton Lake reared by single parent
by a Kansan reporter

Gary Reid, wildlife area manager, said no one was sure what happened to the other adult.
"It's hard to say, they usually won't leave," he said.
close.
When the eagles began nesting, Clinton Park managers had problems with fishermen driving their boats too close to the site and frightening them. They were placed within 200 yards of the eagles to keep viewers from getting too close.
Recently, however, the area has been relatively quiet. Reid said
The nesting area is located on the south side of Clinton on the Rock Creek Arm of the lake
Reid was pleased with the progress the young, despite the disappearance of one parent
"He or she is doing a good job of feeding them," he said. "They're really growing. The two young are larger and have feathered out."
Reid said that if the young reach maturity, they could return to the Clinton vicinity in two years to lay eggs.
