The number of bald eagle pairs "jumped to 435 in 2003," continuing growth trend from 1977 when surveys showed "just 33 eagle nests in Virginia" says Fredrickburg.com, AP 10/20. The 20% increase over 2002 was "the biggest jump since the eagle survey began," although a cool, wet spring was cited as the reason for a 9% drop in number of chicks produced, the first since 1994.
