The ‘Riverbend Eagles’ are once again hard at work building their nest in the tree next to the Green River Trail – a good sign that spring is right around the corner.

Local resident Julene Bailie captured this shot of Kent’s celebrity eagles.

She also has published a children’s book, ‘The Eagle Tree’, containing photos of the Riverbend eagles and their eaglets from the 2014 nesting season (available on Amazon.com).

Ralph Meier, a local raptor enthusiast, has created videos of the same eagle family over the past few years. Meier’s videos are available on YouTube (RHM sheeprugly channel, Bald Eagles, Kent, WA).
