The Resurgence of Bald Eagles in New Hampshire
August 1  7:00 pm     Chris Martin
This program examines the dramatic Bald Eagle population recovery in New Hampshire and describes management efforts and partnerships that have helped eagles. In 2023, NH Audubon staff and field volunteers continued to track the robust resurgence of the Granite State’s Bald Eagle population.
We confirmed 109 Territorial Pairs in NH, up 18% compared to 2022. NH Fish & Game removed the Bald Eagle from our state’s Endangered and Threatened Wildlife List in March 2017 after we confirmed two decades of population growth. Looking back this was clearly the right decision, and the population has continued to expand since then.
