Eagle's Nest


I carefully entered the edge of the woods this morning to look up at the Bald Eagle's nest.  There was that magnificent white head up above the rim of the giant nest sitting  in the fork of  the pine.  I think the egg(eggs) may have already hatched by now and the parents are carefully watching over their young for the 2 to 3 months until they fledge.  
The hedgerow by the creek was alive with bird activity this morning as we walked.  Tits, robins, wrens, bluebirds, and all sorts of woodpeckers.  I saw the Pileated this morning, many more sighting in the last year than previously.  Hope that bodes well for the population.
Zoe and Jake were lively this morning on the walk, the cold temperatures seem to give them energy.
