Today we got to go out and help with a Bald Eagle nest survey. We drove out to a more secluded part of the refuge and trekked through a bunch of overgrown brush, over logs, and through fields of spikey evil plants to get close to one of the nests. (this pair did a great job of picking a safe spot for their nest that nobody could get to easily)
When we finally made it to a clearing where we could see the nest through a scope, momma eagle was sitting on the nest, so we all got to see her. The eagle dad joined her shortly after we arrived.
Aside from all of the evil spikey plants, it was a pretty cool little adventure.
The pictures are of an eagle I encountered on my weekly visits with LaFawnduh last week!
How Neat Is That?!
