For field use. Do not record or share exact nest locations, coordinates, or identifying landmarks. This blank form is not a download of the historical observation database.Why this archive matters
For more than 15 years, observers have recorded eagle behavior, nesting activity, and changes over time. Keeping their original posts, names, dates, and photographs together preserves the context behind each sighting—not just isolated data points. This site protects that community history while directing new monitoring to CitSci.
In memory of Dr. Kenneth C. Schneider and with appreciation for every observer who helped document South Florida’s bald eagles.
