A very grey, dull, overcast, cloudy and at times showery morning, turned into a most beautiful morning! It was quiet bird-wise and people-wise being a long weekend and not so pleasant weather. When the showers started, I debated whether to head on home but thought otherwise, a little rain won’t hurt me. I strolled along the backside of the Sanctuary stopping at an opening through the trees so I could see across the river. As I zoomed in on the Bald Eagle’s nest across the river, I spotted unusual movement. I leaned against a fence post to help with steadiness as I peered through my lens at full zoom. I uttered a very loud ooohhh! This is what I saw, Mom feeding her Eaglet! I was so excited! I’m so proud for the parents! I even felt emotional! I showed the photo to another birder and he suggested the Eaglet is probably a day or two old. I wish the family well and hope the Eaglet gets to live its best life!
