04/14/2016 by olympus
On March 27, 2016 I observed a Bald Eagle in this nest, apparently in the incubating posture. They attempted to take this osprey nest over two years ago but were driven off, and settled for another osprey nest about 1/4 mile away, where they raised one eaglet. Also on this date, I observed an adult Bald Eagle at a nest they had occupied a few years ago. I guess site #1066 won the choice.
