At 7:15 this morning a young Bald Eagle was jumping up and down in the nest at N Spencer Marsh, trying her wings. Looks ready to fly!
I wouldn't be surprised if the pressure created by the presence of those Eagles was responsible for the relocation of Great Blue Heron nesting to the L-P preserve, and maybe related to the surprise appearance of a Common Gallinule at Coleman Lake too. (Eagles have a taste for Coots, so moorhens seem likely to be acceptable as well) Geo Kloppel Bowmaker & Restorer 227 Tupper Rd Spencer NY 14883 607 564 7026 -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
