The Golden Eagles Are Nesting On Wildcat Mountain

Beginning in late January, the Golden Eagle pair began making improvements to the historic nest on Wildcat Mountain. 2023 marks the 13th year that this pair has returned to Wildcat Mountain with hopes of an eaglet … or two. After the Wildcat Mountain Wintering Wildlife closure ends on April 1, the trail leading up to the summit of Wildcat Mountain will remain closed through the nesting and hopeful hatching and raising of an eaglet. Thank you for respecting the closure and keep up on our Facebook (www.facebook.com/hrcabackcountry) and Instagram (@hrca_backcountry) for video and photo updates!
