ok, that is just way toooooooooo cool!! i expect that i'll become a bald eagle voyeur! i keep checking back to see if anything changes :) thanks for posting that link! jiggreen

Just a few tidbits to enhance your viewing pleasure. The eagle you see on the nest feeding the young can be either the female or the male, as they both take turns raising the eaglets. See if you are able to notice that one parent is notably larger than the other. That would be the female. Female eagles can weigh 10 to 12 pounds, while males are usually in the 6 to 8 pound range. Surprisingly light for such large birds, eh? (Females can have an 8 foot wingspan, and males about 6 foot.) Eagles nest in the winter (hence the nice show going on right now), and the young have often fledged by February. Young eagles take several years to develop the white head and tail of the adult birds. They are usually either solid brown, or brown with various white markings here and there as they are maturing. They have longer wing & tail feathers than the adults, so they often look larger. When you see a turkey vulture silhouette soaring towards you, you will notice a shallow "V" shape to the wings. (Called the "dihedral" angle). When you see an eagle soaring towards you, the wings will be held straight out & flat, with no dihedral angle. So it is often easy to distinguish that the large soaring bird in the distance is probably a turkey vulture rather than an eagle. A huge percentage of an eagle's diet is fish, which is why they so often nest near bodies of water. They will catch fish in their talons the same way an osprey does, but will also steal fish from other birds any chance they get. Why do all the work when another bird has done it for you? And one last tidbit to ponder. Eagles mate in flight. Talk about "feeling the earth move!" ;o) Marcia

I was there when they had babies before. The mother was feeding it seagulls that hang around the water there. Their nest was full of white feathers. The reception to the park has a monitor with the webcam showing the nest but I never saw it online. They have a trolley that stops by the tree but you have to look very carefully to see the birds. Thanks for the link, I'll go take a look at it. Beautiful park by the way.

We sometimes go to this one area fishing/boating and it is amazing watching the bald eagles catch fish. They are majestic birds and it's amazing to watch how graceful they soar over the water and around the hillside. Love using the binoculars to watch their antics.
