North of the river, a little east of the Black Dog power plant, maybe 300 to 400 hundred yards from the road is an Eagle nest.Yesterday afternoon my wife and I were able to see the mom (with a scope) feed her baby. You can only see the parents with binoculars. When we first arrived both Eagles were on the edge of the nest. I think they just finished feeding because the young one got sleepy really fast. One of the Eagles flew off and I saw it soaring a couple times after that. Would the dad go get food and the mom stay with the nest? Any way my wife thought she saw movement of possibly a second infant. I never saw it. This morning I went back. Watched as the little one was fed again (only 1 parent). It takes a pretty good scope.
My wife and I also watched a Great Horned owl, from the middle of Feb.until a couple weeks ago. She was constantly on her nest. I was told her eggs should have hatched around the first of March. Someone else told me she would throw out bad eggs, mate again and lay more eggs. I have been hoping to see those babies, but haven't even seen her on the nest for the last couple of weeks and no babies. That nest is on the right of the bike trail that starts under the Cedar Ave. bridge from Black Dog road. A couple hundred feet in on the path and South across the pool of water. ------ http://USFamily.Net/info - Unlimited Internet - From $8.99/mo! ------
