Unfortunately, the eggs were infertile (see: http://www.salisburypost.com/article/20130228/SP01/130229627/infertile-ground-dan-nicholas-park-bald-eagles-strike-out-with-first-eggs-but-they-x2019-ll-no-doubt-try-again). However, it is cool that these rescued birds are trying and that the center will release the young into the wild if they do manage to produce offspring.
