Eagle Nest (actually, it's an Osprey nest)


A Mooselookmeguntic friend told me about a nest she had seen on her drive to the lake. I made it a point to check it out as I drove home today. Certainly looks like an eagle nest. And the close-up shows what may be a chick looking out, watching the world go by. Interesting choice of place to build a nest, isn't it?

Update: We've followed developments in the nest during our trips to/from the cabin. Turns out this is an Osprey nest, not an Eagle nest. But, there are chicks--we've seen the parents feeding them. This picture was taken on a very hot, sunny day. It shows mom/dad with wings outstretched, apparently creating some shade for the chicks. Pretty interesting.
