We have counted over 200 Bald Eagles at one time here in the spring. As soon as we get open water their here making a racket and shitting all over the place.

Why is there such a distinct line formed along the border? Is that federally-protected land or something?

Edit: Duh. It's a fucking river. I need a nap.

Saw a pair of bald eagles on my walk this morning, along with countless ducks and seagulls and robins. The robins are exceptionally numerous this morning.

Come to think about it, they're probably just as numerous as they are in the spring and summer, but with the trees bare, it's a lot easier to see them. They're everywhere.

Real time Bald Eagle Cam... there's lights way off in the background that look like eyeballs lurking in the dark.

The nest is in a Yucca tree.

I just watched her move her eggs and re position herself. So Cool.

She just looked directly into the camera and gave me the stink-eye.

This guy; 1. likes birds, or 2. has a mosquito problem, maybe 3. bugs ate the branches.

Around here walnut trees are about the only ones to get the white paint treatment.

Birds fly because who wants to walk on those feet.

I don't watch the Hanover Iggles as much as I did last year, but I keep up on the Facebook page.

The female laid one good egg, and then, a few days later, an egg with no shell. Birbologists say it happens often. They caught her laying it on video, and basically, she ate it, as soon as she saw it wasn't a good egg. This instinct removes it from the nest, and keeps the good egg in dry, bacteria-free condition.

You don't see much of the non-egg before it's gone.

Now, recently, they have had a juvenile bald eagle invading the nest. There's no sound in this video, which is a shame because the female is sounding the alarm. The intruder arrives and she has to kick him off.

The same birb (probably) is visiting the nest at night, and just standing next to it for an hour, without walking onto the nest itself. DRAMA
