My friend, sitting to my left, suddenly called out: behind you, doc.
Over my right shoulder, Hershey appeared, heading towards his nest.

State Ranger Steve McMurray has shared with us a photo of Lady Lake at the LL&H nest.
He took the photo yesterday through a spotting scope.
Thanks Steve for letting us know Lady Lake is bright eyed and on her nest.

Eagle Nest reports and JL Neighborhood photo:
At First Nest, Kate is keeping the eggs warm and safe.
At H&G nest Godiva hasn’t laid eggs yet and Hershey is still bringing her treats.
JL Neighborhood is a new feature I am adding;
it will have a mix of non-breeding eagles and their neighbors, large, small, bird, mammals, etc.
Hope you all will enjoy it.
The 2 year old bald eagle below was fishing at the far south end of the lake.
The very early morning light sure makes him glow!

First Nest
Petruchio flying in to check on Kate.
Kate has stood to roll the egg(s).
The eggs must be rolled every 1-2 hours to keep the embryos heathy.
Petruchio on guard.
H & G Nest
That is Hershey on the left and Godiva on the right.
She has not started laying eggs yet.
H&G nest report December 28, 2016
Mating in the bald eagle world is noisy, precarious and spectacular.
Hershey, the male, has to balance on Godiva’s curved back without using his talons –
he doesn’t want to cause damage to his mate.
His wings that give him hunting agility now provide Hershey with the brief moment he needs to mate.
