one of the shad creeks i frequent has a bald eagle's nest just above my
favorite run. on saturday, i enjoyed the noise of the eagles...sounded
like a new eaglet in the nest. very distinctive sound. watched as one
flew across the creek to alight in a tree just above me. it kept its
butt end to me, took an unceremonious crap, and flew off to hunt. the
bird's white head and tail is visible in the second photo... not a great
photo, but the best my little digi could do.

Still very cool.

If you can't get enough of eagles in nests, check out the real-time video of a
nesting pair (with at least one egg in the nest) at this site:

Best viewed during daylight hours ;-)

Or go to http://www.friendsofblackwater.org/camhtm2.html to watch the
two chicks grow. They're cute little fluff balls now, but soon
they'll get bigger and less cute.

There's a link there to an osprey nest, too, but the ospreys aren't
back yet this year.
