What do you call a baby eagle? An eaglet. Last year my favorite nest to watch had two eaglets. This year I am seeing only one head at a given time.

It has rained a lot. I did get a chance this past weekend to watch the nest near the Hudson River in New York for a little while. I finally saw the head pop out. I only saw one. I will have to ask the retired people who hang out there all day if they have seen more than that.

The parents took turns watching over the eaglet. A week ago a hawk was trying to get in the nest and the father eagle chased it away.

Unfortunately, as it usually does in April, it has rained a lot. That makes it hard to view the nest on the steep side of a hill. The window to view it is also rapidly closing with buds on the trees turning into leaves. More excitement awaits around June, when we may see the eaglet flying around near the nest.
great work Sharon!

Wish I could get in a boat. Only then would I be able to get a chance to get a fishing photo. Love your shots from the water.

you can Sharon,you just need to really want to! If theres a will,there will be a way!
Even kayaking or a canoe would be great but If you do not have water experience,not a good idea.

excellent idea Sharon! Sort of like testing the pool with your toe. If you like it ( and I know you will) you’ll figure it out I’m sure!

I was up the hill from the nest. It was a safe distance. The parents are okay a few of us watch from there. I used a zoom at 600 and it is cropped quite a bit. I think that is part of the reason it is not tack sharp.
