Flying to nest
Observasjonsdetaljer
This long-standing Lake Wildwood eagle nest (fledged young in 2021, 2022, 2023) had been damaged in the Feb. 5 strong windstorm. During another strong wind storm on the night of March 1-2, a structural branch failed and most of the remaining nest came tumbling down. I looked through the sticks and branches scattered on the ground and found no eggs or chicks. (Lots of fish skulls and vertebrae.) Today, in continuing cold (37 F.), wind, rain and hail, the adult pair were very active at the nest. I saw them perched on the nest remnants, chirping at each other. And I saw one of the birds (they could be differentiated, at least today, by the dark stains on one bird's tail) repeatedly fly away to the woods to the east and return with tree branches that it added to the nest remnants. The stained-tail bird flew away for 20 minutes and returned without food or nest material. See photos.
