Ranger Nest
 
One of the chicks is branching!
This nest is not the usual kind for our bald eagles.
Usually there are branches above and to the sides for the chicks to practice moving out on or up to.
In this case, there is pretty much only sideways.
The video is a quick 15 second snippet of one of the chicks branching.

I was sitting at my computer yesterday, editing photos.
My cat Grayced was lying just inside the picture window.
Suddenly Grayced levitated off his cushion and I stopped breathing when this red-tailed hawk appeared within 2 feet of the window.
This is actually the second pass of the hawk as he tried for a songbird at my feeder – I didn’t have camera in hand for the first pass.
The red-tailed hawk missed the songbird.  About stopped my heart.  Scared my cat silly.
Whew!!!!!
