Hey all. I just wanted to alert folks to a cool thing currently happening (and easily seen with a scope) at the Refuge. It concern a relatively new eagle nest that's directly across the river from the Spillway on the Wildlife Drive. While at the Spillway fence look east across the river to see the nest. It currently houses 2 adults and 2 eaglets. This afternoon I watched as the adult male calmly and very effortlessly plucked fish from the relatively shallow waters of the Main Pool and brought them to the nest across from the Spillway. At the nest the adult female could easily be seen tearing the fish apart and feeding it to two young eaglets. The two young eaglets were easily seen. So if you like eagles it's a wonderful chance to see their "child" rearing lives up close and personal before the trees leaf out and the opportunity is lost till next April. Do not delay. The golden moments fly! Pete Sar _._,_._,_
