Thursday’s Catch

After missing out on the delivery of another fish due to the unexpected direction from which the parent came, I waited around and within maybe 30 minutes or so after the dad went out again he snagged another.

Thursday’s Catch- the nest. They have three eaglets this year.

This time he came from the direction I expected him to. How nice of him. It is hard to get pictures of the fish coming in and delivery in the nest. The above picture I believe is the mother with one eaglet clearly visible and two heads down low closer to the mother. This nest has three eaglets that they appear to be doing a good job taking care of. The last two years this nest has lost an eaglet each year.

Thursday’s Catch – another small orange fish

By the time this photo was taken it was close to sunset. I had to lighten it a bit. Luckily, he flew right towards me and over my head. Another orangey fish. This one appears small. Once again it looks like dad could not help himself. He may have eaten part of it. Have a great weekend!

Eagle Nest 4/15

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.

Eagle Nest 4/15 – Probably the mother

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.

Eagle Nest 4/15 – Most likely the dad

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.

Eagle Nest 4/15 – Dad ate most of this fish

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!
