The Wild in Yellowstone: Bald Eagles in March
March brings a shift along Yellowstone’s rivers. As winter begins to loosen its grip, bald eagles become more active, more visible, and more vocal. Nesting season is underway, and pairs work together to reinforce bonds, defend territory, and prepare for the months ahead. Open water along the Yellowstone River creates prime opportunities to observe hunting behavior, aerial displays, and perch interactions. In this edition of Wild Yellowstone, we explore bald eagle behavior during early spring, where to reliably find them in March, and how to photograph these iconic raptors as they move between winter and nesting season.
