We are at the terminal to catch the boat back. Dr. Sharpe stopped with Darwin to chat. We saw one of the eagles fly over. Dr. Sharpe thought it was probably one of the Rattlesnake pair. MIB |

For all of you who worry that a chicklet is left alone on the nest, the adult is never that far away. Here is a perfect example from the Oklahoma cam..........

Marcie - It is a man-made platform. The nest is on Sooner Lake, near Stillwater in north-central Oklahoma. The current nest is on an artificial tower erected by the Sutton Avian Research Center and local utility OG&E to replace the original dead nest tree used by this pair after it fell down. The pair first built a nest in the dead tree in 1995, and laid their first eggs in 1996. Since then, they've fledged 24 eaglets, with three eaglets in 2000 and 2002. 2008 was the first year they've known how many eggs were laid; they do know that three eggs hatched in 2007, but the youngest chick was unable to compete for food with its older siblings, so only two of them fledged. There were four eggs laid in 2008, but the cam was down for a month shortly after they started to hatch, so we don't know how many of them hatched; there were two eaglets when the cam came back, and both fledged successfully. |

With the hat and the long blonde hair, at first glance it looked like it could be one of your granddaughters trying on Easter hats. The photo doesn't really look like a dog! Ed: Though the hair looks a bit messy for one of the girls! |

Last weekend I went up to a sugar camp to pick up some maple sugar ( just in time for breakfast, I might add, yummmm! ). On the way back, I ran into a flock of Canada Geese heading north (well, no, I didn't run into them - literally). Then, just about 2 kilometres outside of Halifax, I saw an eagle drying itself on the top of a tree (torrential rains the night before). I drove 1 1/2 km to the next exit ( driving the speed limit, of course :rolleyes: ) and turned around and went back. It was still there! Eagles are virtually unheard of this close to the Halifax area. They're mostly in Cape Breton and the Annapolis Valley. Made my day!, even more than the maple syrup!!![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
