Texas Parks and Wildlife Department biologist Dale Schmidt says the pair of eagles that have nested in the area for the past eight years are about to start their ninth season of nesting, right along Texas Highway 29 halfway between Buchanan Dam and Llano. They will spend the next few weeks restoring and expanding their nest, which is composed of layers of sticks and limbs that can weigh as much as a ton. Bald eagles typically nest along rivers and lakes where they can hunt for fish, turtles and waterfowl. Due to drought conditions, and less water in area rivers, the eagles may be seen more frequently hunting on Lake Buchanan. Canyon of the Eagles Nature Park
is located on the shores of Lake Buchanan. It makes an ideal base for venturing out around the area, and offers accommodations from tent campsites to RV camping to resort-style cabins and a restaurant.
