On any given year, there are couples of eagles living on and around Swan Island; some of them raise chicks, maintaining nests that have been used for years. We once had a 3,000 pound nest fall out of one of our trees! The eagles fish in the river, but will also sometimes take trout out of our kids' fishing pond: you never know where you might see one!
