I Found an Eagles Nest
I Found an Eagles Nest, I went down to the river a couple weeks ago, sitting here by the river just enjoying the quiet morning. Then I headed down to the little island I go to quite often to see if there were any birds hanging out.
But first I saw these beauties doing a little fishing, yep, there are a few pelicans still hanging around. They don’t want to go to Florida just yet.
The leaves were starting to fall here on this little island when I looked up and saw these two Eagles and a nest. It isn’t the best picture because it was pretty cloudy out and they are a little to far away. But, how exciting to see a nest here on the river. I have not seen one nest here in all the years I have been watching the Eagles.
Now this is to Wayne, I am guessing this might be the female, but it is not a good angle to really see the size of the beak. If you want to see more Eagles and Bears check out Wayne’s blog; Tofino Photography Here. He knows a lot about Eagles and has some beautiful photos also.
And now today I saw this younger Eagle, which might be the young one hatched by the two above from last year. I will be checking in on this duo all winter.

What a lucky find Sandra and you thought the pelicans were gone for the Winter – the weather has been warm enough to stick around a while longer. The eagles were a lucky find too … this was a relaxing day first, then a successful day second.
The bottom one looks like he’s had a rough day..;-)
Yes, he looks pretty scruffy. 🙂
How exciting to see eagles and then a nest. White pelicans have arrived down here.
It is so exciting, we still have a few stragglers of Pelicans, about 15 of them hanging out. 🙂
Beautiful photos. Love seeing eagles, this was such an awesome find!!! Welcome little bambino😊 Thank you for sharing this 💖
You are very welcome Maria, I will enjoy checking in on these guys this winter. We usually get a few dozen Eagles around here in the winter, these are the first ones to arrive.
Really wonderful!
Thank you so much. 🙂
🙂🌏
amazing 😍
Thank you dear Seraja, have a wonderful weekend coming up.🙂
the deciduous have decided to show you what was in behind eh. Finding a eagles nest is always exciting! There may of been a study in your area of the active/inactive nests? You could go seek out others as well.
I cannot tell for sure about that adult but I’m leaning towards a male but the immature is defiantly a female.
Seeing a nest in this area means the environment is healthy! If there were no fish,there would be no eagles.
Great find Sandra! You get your eagle wings pin!
Thank you very much Wayne, it is so exciting. I have a spot picked out by a tree where I set my chair and have my camera and watch them. One of them landed today near the nest and it had a fish. It came from the west, so I am guessing it goes down by the lock and dams to fish.
very good Sandra! Your observing and thats the best tool a wildlife photographer has!
Amazing!
Thank you very much. 🙂
WOW! An eagle nest, I would be excited to just see an eagle in the wild. Good job.
Thank you, I know, I am excited to have spotted it. It was pretty well hidden until the leaves dropped. That is when I finally saw it.
How exciting for you! It’s so wonderful how their numbers have recovered from their depleted populations beginning early last century. A symbolic sign of hope 🙂
Thank you Mary, yes it is so nice to see more of them. There are up to a dozen or more here in the winter months.
Way Cool!! Good for you on your find
Keep laughing
Yes, way cool. 🙂
Awesome keep sharing
How exciting! You never know what you might see if you’re still and beholding God’s creation! Blessings Sandra!
Thank you very much Cindy, 🙂
Very cool!
Thank you DC, 🙂
OH!!! How lovely!!! We love finding those!!! And that shot of the baby is unbelievably sweet! Thank You, Sandra!!! ❤️
You are very welcome, I will love going to check on them through out the winter.
Right?!! We have nests of varying birds we check on now and again as well. What a sweet gift! 💖💖💖
How serendipitous. Bet it made your day. Lovely pictures.
It sure did, my first sighting of a nest. It will be fun to watch them this winter.
💙💙💙 Beautiful!
Thank you Francine, 🙂
What a great find! Hope they stay awhile! 🦅
Yes, so do I. 🙂
What a great find Sandra ! I hope the eagles can find there a good place to live. Hope to see them again during te following months.
Thank you, yes I will be checking in on them from time to time this winter. They have a nice private spot for their nest. 🙂
The little eagle is so cute. I hope he’ll have a great life. 💕
He sure is Jo, I hope to get some better photos this winter also. 🙂
loved the post and pictures. Keep it up
Thank you very much 🙂
A perfect example of why, when we can (any many right now assuredly cannot) taking time to contemplate the beautify of God’s creation all around us is so rewarding. Thanks for sharing it with us.
You are so welcome. Yes, so much beauty even in our own backyards.
Very cool!
Thank you Herb, 🙂
That is a very special find Sandra 🙂
Yes, I have been watching Eagles here on the Mississippi river for years and this is the first nest I have found. And they have there own private little island so no one will bother them, just need binoculars to see them. 🙂
Thank you for the update on the pelicans, Sandra! The river is bountiful and they feed a lot before the long flight. 17th Chapter on the Pterodactyls’ adventure. Blessings to you and your family!
Thank you Kent, yes, they are taking advantage of the warmer weather for sure.
