Bald Eagle's nest practically in my backyard!

I noticed a lot of increased traffic on our road in the last two weeks. Finally drove the other way down our road yesterday and saw all kinds of signs about bald eagle watching. This was only about 1/2 mile from my house. It was down the big hill, which is why I could not see it from my house. (We live right next to a huge county park)

So today since it was so nice out, I loaded the kids in the stroller and we walked down the hill to see what exactly was going on. From what the other birdwatchers there told me is that the juvenile pair of eagles that was spotted in the park last year came back and built a nest this year. The nest was pretty far away to see the birds real well without binoculars. I zoomed my camera as far as I could and took some pictures. I think if I go out on our bedroom balcony (which is upstairs), we might be able to see the nest from there, I just have not checked yet.

These are the best pictures I could get. And I had some serious zoom to get these.





At first Julia mis-understood me and thought we were going to see the "seagulls". She talked about see the eagles all evening. Although, I think she enjoyed the stroller ride more than anything else! I know Jude did....
