Jordan Lake. First Nest. Mom Kate was in the nest feeding a chick or chicks. A bald eagle fledgling flew into the cove. I quickly saw that it was not one of the fledglings from First Nest from last year. Mom Kate and Dad Bard were also sure it was not one of their offsprings either.

TagAnother Triplet Visits!
Jordan Lake. First Nest. Another of last year’s triplets visited its home nest! This time it was the biggest of the 3. Pine cones clustered near the young eagle’s head can make seeing the eagle a chore. In last photo Bard is flying right over the youngster after barely giving it a glance. Interesting!!!
Dad Bard Catches a Big Fish
Jordan Lake. First Nest. Dad Bard was quite anxious and more than ready to catch a fish for his youngster. He watched. He waited. I watched. I waited. We all get rewarded when we get to see Bard catch his fish!
First Nest HATCHED!
Jordan Lake. HATCHED! Yes at least one egg has hatched. The way I know that – because obviously I cannot see down into the nest – is by the parent’s behavior. When the parents begin bringing in fish, then stand on the edge and pluck off bites of the fish and reach down to feed it to the chicks, we call that “feeding behavior”. That’s how we know that there’s a chick in the nest – mouth wide open wanting that bite of fish. Yay!
