True, and also some of the scenery can pass for Old West scenery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the West has an atmosphere all of its own. I grew up on the western side of the hemisphere and was familiar with the Pacific long before becoming actively aware of the Atlantic side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did bring food to the nest but took a couple of mouthfuls and then just left it there Dont think mum likes the frozen dinner from the day before ..a bird that they spent a lot of time defeathering but didnt eat much ..would have thought they would use the feathers to help keep the nest warm but they threw them over the side of the nest I wonder why they build it in the open since they tend to land on a branch and hop in ... over here the birds tend to build nests in the middle of branches so they have at least some shelter Dont think I am going to get to see any baby eagles this year Hope they are fit and young enough to have a more successful breeding season next year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year I recall they brought in a fish which they accidentally knocked over the side of the nest! I'm not sure if we'll see any young either because of this unusual stormy weather. Last year only one egg hatched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then a minute or so later, maybe it was the dad Eagle...it flew back on to the nest. I heard a nursery owner claim that the snow would insulate his plants. I hope the same goes for the Eagles. Maybe their feathers provide some insulation. Anyhow they sure are dedicated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
