Sunday afternoon was a good time to see the Eagle nest. When DH and I arrived there were others who also come to watch the birds activities.

1. The Nest on the tree from a distance with the female sitting inside.
2. The male Eagle who arrives shortly after we got there.
3 & 4 Shift change-- the male will sit on the nest as his mate flew out and preening herself, soon afterward the female flew off; presumably goes off to fish. Other times, experienced nest observer told me that one of the two will bring fish back home to feed the other. But, this trip the bird returned to the nest without a fish.
5. At home the Eastern Blue Bird is showing his bright nesting plumage. The couple will often show up in pair at the meal worms feeder. Rain or shine, the 3rd BB shows up occasionally for the mealies treat.
