South Carolina's Bald Eagles - Nest Locations
The current SCDNR bald eagle monitoring program includes nesting season aerial flight surveys. A subset of the documented nesting territories are surveyed each year resulting in the entire state being surveyed once every three years.
SCDNR does not share locations of eagle nests in South Carolina per SC Code of Laws 50-15-100(A). Citizen science platforms, such as eBird or iNaturalist, provide public information on eagles and other species. The SCDNR Natural Heritage Program tracks South Carolina’s species of concern.
Non-documented nests receive the same level of protection as nests documented by SCDNR.
