WhereDaily News: New Eaglet Hatchling in Verde Canyon

SEDONA, AZ and VERDE VALLEY, AZ and CLARKDALE, AZ--(Marketwired - April 18, 2016) - In February 2016 Arizona Game & Fish confirmed the presence of an egg in the nest of mated eagles known locally as "Clark" and "Dale." In the past, the pair has struggled to create a successful nesting site in the Verde Canyon near their namesake community, Clarkdale, Arizona. The couple's newest nursery was established in a stand of aged Cottonwoods just a few miles outside of town, between Verde Canyon Railroad's historic rails and the Verde River. By March, railroad personnel noticed that the eagles were exhibiting activity indicating a hatchling may be in the nest. The parents were spotted delivering food, and now instead of sitting directly atop the nest as they would have while incubating, they were seen perching on the edges.
