17 day old eaglet who responds to the name Elvis.

Above Julia is bringing in grass and branches to "fluff up" the nest prior to the 2010 nesting season (1/26/10).

Above both Hiram and Julia are perched above the ever growing nest for 2010. Hiram and Julia were sighted at the nest on Jan 1, 2010 by Mr. Kenneth Walker,
Every day multiple sorties have been flown to increase the size of the nest in preparation for the laying of eggs which occured Feb 23 2010 as best as we can calculate. Egg hatch day was calculated as March 27-28 which was a beautiful weekend, weather-wise.By all accounts there is at least one viable chick in the nest. More to follow.

In 2007 two adult bald eagles made their home in Shiloh National Park. They were named Hiram and Julia. They hatched their first two young in 2008. Their second two eaglets were hatched about March 9-13 of 2009. It is our desire that many of the visitors who have expressed a desire to know about the history, progress and future of the Shiloh eagles will have a place to learn and be amazed at these eagles.

This web site would not be possible without the kindness, cooperation and knowledgeable staffing of the Shiloh National Park. Every staff person who has permitted us access, given us information and history and maintained the location deserves our sincere gratitude and respect. Thanks to all in particular, Mr. Woody Harrell, Park superintendent, Mr. Stacy Allen, Chief Park Ranger, and each and every officer of the Park staff.

History of Hiram and Julia

.

In 2007, Diane, wife of Chief Ranger Stacy Allen noticed something out of the ordinary. Eagles. Ordinarily this might not have been remarkable, but eagles had never been observed to nest here in the Shiloh National Park, at least the American Bald Eagle, the National Bird. Interestingly, the nesting site was not as one might expect on the river banks but at the intersection of one of the nest heavily traversed roads in the park.

More to Come.
