Caroline County, known for its rural charm and beautiful countryside, is home to approximately 14 Bald Eagle "occupied territories" . (Occupied Territories are birds observed in association to a nest and evidence of recent nest maintenance.) Of these 14, 11 are what is referred to as "Active Nests", i.e., if the birds appear to be sitting on eggs or if eggs or chicks are seen in the nest.

Our County's current Bald Eagle Territories are located in: Port Royal, Rappahannock Academy, Supply, Bowling Green and in Caroline near the Ashland/Caroline line.

 If you have had the experience of seeing one of our beautiful eagles, whether you are a resident, visitor or just driving through, please write and tell us about it!
