Oh.... what a beautiful sight!!!

The cameras are great this year. They are still working on getting any bugs out, but I think it will be well worth the wait. Larry might need to find his weed wacker for that huge stalk of RagWeed on his nest. I might mention....

I am so happy to see Bald Eagles!!!

... and then the eagle started calling out!! Oh I love that sound! And look who came in! It's a juvie!! talon@e4kids thought it to be a first year bird. You can see a little bit of white on the neck and tail, and a little gold on the beak.

There has been a lot of Bald Eagle activity at Larry's nest. This one came with Carrion all over the beak.

There was some funny business going on this morning. There's a YM (young male) who is learning to be a Mature Eagle. Hopefully, he'll have this figured out by January. Here is a video from Keith at Eagles4Kids. Thanks Keith!!

I peeked in on E4Kids (for just a minute). YM flew on to the nest and quickly out of the snow and onto the Den branch. Within a few minutes he flew off. I thought I'd take that moment to carry on with my day but nooooooo! He brought NF back to the tree with him. An hour later... he's still there with her... staring at her... admiring her beauty. It gave me a chance to grab a few snippies. If this couple is going to stay here, it would be nice to know who's who. Of course, it's usually the female who lays the eggs.

These eagles come back mostly on a daily basis. Today I missed them but I snipped this picture anyway. It reminds me of the great old Black n White movies.

Things are looking good for this nest so far this season. This isn't Larry and Lucy but this pair seems to be taking care of business just right.

There were reports of eagles chasing eagles by the nest this morning. Afterwards, the young male (YM) came to sit on the branch with his Lady Friend. Video by knarley123

This nest has had a couple of rough years with the injury of Lucy and then a year of a non viable egg. Last year Lucy left and was replaced by the NewFemale. So far this season it looks like the NewFemale has brought a YoungMale to the nest. They've been working on nestorations, but there's still the chance that Larry could come back and claim his territory. It may be another drama filled nesting season.

This young eagle found the branch a great place to perch and preen for a while this afternoon. Another beautiful eagle!!
