It’s all about the view A bald eagle sits on a tree branch while another eagle watches their nest on Monday morning, April 2, near the Lake Street and Homer Bypass intersection. Since 2010, a pair of bald eagles has built four nests in the area near Beluga Slough south of the Lake Street and Sterling Highway intersection. This pair returned to the nest earlier in March. The first nest was destroyed when the tree fell down in a winter storm. In 2012 the eagles built a new nest across from the Homer Post Office by the motorhome dump station. In 2014 they built another nest in a new tree closer to the slough. In 2016 they built another nest, but in 2017 moved to the post office location. This nest is the same one built in 2016.
