[ValleyNature] Jawbone Corner Eagles

[Helen Archibald]

On my walk down Canard St today I couldn't quite be sure if the eagle 
was sitting on the nest - they have wisely made the north side of the 
nest very high. However, chickens had been dumped and there were about 
15 eagles of varying ages around in the trees. One immature is missing 
many tail feathers.  Another has almost  full white head &  tail, but 
still quite a bit of mottling. It was fun to get a good look at all the 
variations.  There were also hawks (red tails for sure, & I think some 
smaller ones) & ravens.
On my return trip I really regretted not having the camera - a 
red-tailed hawk was enjoying quite a large chicken right next to the 
road & was not prepared to risk losing it by flying just because a human 
was walking on the other side.
No sign of my stranger at the feeder for several days, but the pheasant 
came by for supper, & there were a few redpolls today. Yesterday one 
red-winged blackbird was on the feeder.
