Ozzy Branches - Flies Up to Look Out Post - Congratulations Ozzy - June 9, 2020 - NCTC Eagles

Congratulations to Ozzy on branching to the Look Out Post. As Ozzy flew up to the Look Out Post it is considered branching. This is the first time that Ozzy flew up to the Look Out Post, which is an important milestone for this young juvenile. As Ozzy has officially branched we could see a fledge any time now although we hope Oz spends a bit of time practicing and strengthening those wings before she takes that first flight. Well done Ozzy you are on your way!

About the NCTC Bald Eagle Family & Nest The resident bald eagles are named Bella (female) and Smitty (male). Bella and Smitty has been together since the fall of 2018. Bella replaced the long term resident female Belle in 2018; Belle was badly injured in a territorial dispute with other adult eagles. The resident male Smitty has been at this nest since 2011 when he replaced the long term resident male Liberty. The NCTC Bald Eagle nest is located 75 miles from Washington, D.C. on the campus of The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services' National Conservation Training Center (NCTC). The campus is located at Shepherdstown, West Virginia. The nest and territory is prime real estate located about 1/4 mile from the Potomac River; rich in resources for an active bald eagle family and at times visitors/intruders challenge Bella and Smitty for their territory. Many thanks to the National Conservation Training Center, The US Fish and Wildlife Services, the Outdoor Channel and the Friends of the NCTC for providing and maintaining this bald eagle cam. Viewers from around the world appreciate the opportunity to view and watch this amazing bald eagle family from the comfort of their own homes! Heartfelt thanks to the many dedicated viewers far and wide across the globe that observe, report, capture and document the daily events of this beautiful eagle family.
