The Eagles Have Returned


The Eagles disappeared for most of the summer. They did not use their nest. I am pretty sure they did not have a brood this summer. Instead they disappeared for weeks at a time and then returned for short periods. They did have three eaglets last year, so perhaps they were taking some time off? Do eagles do that?

While the eagles were gone, all sorts of raptors came to fill in the void. We saw harriers, red-tails, and a falcon or two. When the eagles come back, the smaller raptors tend to move on. Anyway, it seems the eagles are back. Soon they will be fixing their nest for next year.
