First Nest. This morning started early with Kate bringing in a small stick to begin repair work on the nest. Every year the parent bald eagles have to make sure the nest is repaired and safe for egg laying and then the chicks. Kate and then Bard bring in sticks and then begin the work of weaving the sticks into the nest. Bard gets rather frustrated and it shows. I have to hand it to him … he does work hard. The last stick brought in is a gloriously long one – twice the length of Bard!
