🦅Everybody wants to know... what's the bird's word? Stark Parks staff, volunteers, and park visitors have been keeping a close eye on the Bald Eagle nest at Sippo Lake Park, since spotting two eaglets popping up in May. From feeding their young to preening and making minor nest repairs, the adult eagles have been busy at work and can be seen flying around Sippo Lake and perching in nearby dead trees. We predict the eaglets to be 6-7 weeks old, so expect to see them testing out their new wings near the Exploration Gateway.

➡Want to try and catch a glimpse? Head to Sippo Lake Park-North 📍5712 12th St. NW, Canton 44708 at the top of the stairs between the lower parking lot and the building. For everyone’s safety, please avoid lingering in the upper lot or along the road. Stay tuned for more updates as these little ones learn to fly!
