Usually bald eagles carry things such as a fish or a stick for the nest with their talons. Sometimes however, they readily, easily pick things up with their powerful beaks. This beautifully marked 3-year-old bald eagle brought his fish to his eating perch by carrying it with his beak.
The parent bald eagles, Petruchio and Kate at First Nest, were busy this morning. At one point the parents had a slight disagreement about who should be sitting on the eggs. It was interesting to see their reactions to each other.
This eaglet was hatched about 10 months ago here at Jordan Lake. Great to see it successfully fishing!
Bald Eagle Momma Kate at First Nest has laid her egg or eggs!
Now comes a period of about 32 days while both parents care for the eggs until they hatch.
