Baby Eagle Season in Florida

Post by NotABear »

Down here on the west coast of Florida, we are lucky to have one of the highest populations of bald eagles, second only to Alaska. Every year Valerie and I watch two nests and report on the progress to Audubon's Eagle Watch. This year, both nest have produced at least one chick.

This little guy was born approximatly January 1st, 2010.

John,

Gorgeous pictures!!!! :D

What a privelege to witness such majesty.

I especially love the one taken from the rear with the eagle's wings spread.

By the way, any idea yet if you and the better half might be visiting that Park called Glacier (I believe that it is in Montana) this September??

Here's an Update: Val and I have been back to two nests today (1/24/10). BOTH nests have TWO babies.

The babies at Nest PS014 (near the power plant) seem to be about a 10 days old.

The first of the two babies at nest PS004 was born around Jan 1, 2010.
