Up until last year, one of my favorite things about my commute from Manhattan to Bozeman was being able to see a pair of Bald Eagles that had built a nest just north of I-90 between N. 19th Avenue and N. 7th Avenue in Bozeman. Many people in the Bozeman area enjoyed seeing the eagles every day. The pair occupied the nest site year-round since winter of 2015, when the North Park bald eagle nest was first documented by the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation. According to the Montana DNRC, the bald eagle pair successfully fledged young every year from 2016 to 2019, despite nesting within a disturbance zone with multiple active construction and development projects, resulting in at least six known offspring. The pair again was successful in hatching two eagle chicks in the spring of 2020.
