Eaglet Update (5/30/12)
New Eagle Pictures
This Week’s For the Birds
With the Spring in full bloom, many birds are returning to our neck of the woods to join the one’s who stayed behind. (Click on the pictures to see the full image)
The first picture I received this week is of the first sighting of an Osprey this year by Steve Macintyre.
Then Steve and Barry O’Connell traveled to the site of the Eagle’s nest and shot this picture from 250 yards away. If you look closely, you can see an eaglet head peaking out.
We also received pictures of a loon that were taken at the Village Hall. The loon was released into the lake and is doing just fine!

Young Eagles in Roaming Shores
Steve Macintyre again shares with us spectacular images of Bald Eagles. These recent photos are of an immature bald eagle with mottled plumage who is still learning how to fish. Steve also includes a picture of an eagle’s nest which is located just 0.9 mi west of the Lake. If you look closely, you can see the head of an adult just above the center of the nest.
