After I started watching this nest today, a storm with high winds came in. Before it got bad I saw what I believe is the mother in the nest. I also say one eaglet head pop up at a time. It is said this nest has three.

When the winds started getting bad, I hung out in my car, but decided to wait it out. I’m glad I did. I do not think I have taken pictures of an eagle bringing in a fish in quite a while. Today I saw two brought in.

This nest is on the Hudson River, but there are other bodies of water nearby. Each time the dad went out in the direction of the river, so I assume this is where he caught both fish, but he did not tell me.

The second fish he brought back was partial, just the tail region. I guess the dad was hungry. I did not stay around to see him bring in another, by this time I was hungry. What did I have for dinner? Salmon. Have a happy Wednesday!
I thought it was a giant goldfish at first!

I don’t know what it is. Maybe a carp? Further south people have captured osprey with a similar fish.

It looks like he was fishing in a family’s fish tank. But I see from your note that it may be a carp. Maggie

I don’t know the different fish. It’s my guess. I don’t know if it got it from a river or other body of water. I’m told the Osprey south of here like to take carp from a pond near the river.

Nothing like a fresh fish dinner, no matter who you are. Cheers.

As long as they eat it promptly. I would hate to think they left it in the nest to eat the next day. I wonder if they get food poisoning.
