2021-2022 Season
Between the 2021 and 2022 nesting seasons two cameras were installed in the Dulles Greenway Wetlands by a partnership of the Dulles Greenway, American Eagle Foundation, HDOnTap, and Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy for the purpose of monitoring the nest and activities of Dulles Greenway’s resident Bald Eagles.
While there have been resident Bald Eagles in the Dulles Wetlands since 2005 and at this nest in prior years, we do not know if this year’s residents, Martin and Rosa, have been here before. Some observers believe that Rosa may be a first-time mother.
Martin and Rosa arrived in the fall of 2021 and added sticks and fluff to the nest.
Rosa laid their first egg, DG1 at 3:38 pm on February 1 and then she immediately rolled the egg for the first time. DG2 was laid at 4:41 pm on February 4. You can find updates about the activities of Martin and Rosa at https://tinyurl.com/ycyemm42
The Dulles Greenway Wetlands has been home to two Bald Eagles since 2005. In 1995, TRIP II established a private 149-acre wetlands preserve in Leesburg, Virginia during the construction of the Dulles Greenway roadway to mitigate the loss of roughly 64 acres of federally protected wetlands. Today, the wetlands property is managed by the Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy and utilized for local wildlife education.
Wetlands shelter more than one-third of threatened and endangered species in the United States, including once-endangered bald eagles.
