My favorite eagles have been adding fresh branches to their urban aerie. The branches look cut with human tools during the clearing that's been happening on our trails. I spotted this pair carrying branches from the trail near my house a few months ago after a wind storm. Maybe next month there will be eggs to nurture.Their nest is in a ideal spot protected from winds and predators. It makes it tough for photographers to get a good view of growing babies though.
"Listen! I think I hear a human!" |
I'm going to try out some names for this pair, other than mama and papa eagle. Maybe Adonis and Aphrodite or Artemis and Orion. Last year, I called the papa eagle (on the right in this photos) "Spot" because I could see him like a white spot in the trees.
