WBOY 12 News reports on a new eagle nest at the National Conservation Training Center in Shepherdstown, which is now entering its first mating season. With two active nests in close proximity, people can anticipate viewing eagle eggs and chicks via live cams. This year's mating season, beginning in winter, could yield exciting sightings as eagles typically lay eggs by mid-February and chicks may hatch by mid-March. The initiative enhances local wildlife observation and community engagement in raptor conservation efforts around Shepherdstown.
