1. Thanks for reminding me!

I looked at it this weekend and there was already new grass in the nest. I'm really excited, I love to watch them.

2. They adopted the man-made starter nest!

So glad to see this -- esp. after all the heartbreak there this past year.

Thanks for posting!

4. The eagles in Hanover, PA are back too.

They have been in the nest some. It's now filled with snow.
Something went on in the last 24 hours. There are lots of loose feathers and some blood on the snow. A murder and then a snack I think.

5. Awesome, thanks!

I've spent a lot of hours watching the Decorah webcam.

Saw my first bald eagle in the wild recently. Didn't even have to go anywhere. It was flying along the highway in my home town... it was headed directly toward the setting sun & its white head was lit up like a light bulb... which is what drew my attention.

6. Another generation. How nice.

Thanks for the link. I'm going to put it on the desktop.

This morning our "Marshside Florida" red-shouldered hawk was making some very territorial racket from the top of the live oak hanging over half our vacation home down here. At least I'm assuming she's the same one. Before long we won't be able to use the back door or walk that end of the property without risking being attacked. I got off easy last spring. My skull was sore for 4 days where she warning-smacked me, but she didn't need to escalate to real damage because I ran under the carport fast and didn't come back. She's no doubt the reason we don't have many songbirds around here, or bats, but we see her a lot soaring over the marsh and keeping watch from a tall pine across the water.



The grown kids in our four-strong family of sandhill cranes left just a couple weeks ago, and now there's only one parent walking around debugging our grass, the other hidden in the wilderness across the water. We'll never see the nest, but within a month they should both be back with little balls of orange fluff scurrying around under their feet all day.




(These aren't our pix, of course -- I'm too lazy to figure out how to do those.)
