FLORIDA FISH AND WILDLIFE CONSERVATION COMMISSION – Gov. Rick Scott proclaimed Tuesday American Bald Eagle Day as the Sunshine State is home to one of the largest bald eagle populations in the lower 48 states, making eagles one of our state’s greatest conservation success stories.

From only 88 active eagle nests in 1973 to about 1,500 nests today, we have come a long way with eagle conservation.

As we near the end of their nesting season, you may catch sight of a fledgling flying near its nest.
