The young eagles in the nest are getting close to becoming independent.

Rare Bird

In this part of the world we don’t see many bald eagles but there is a family on Lake Nosbonsing. The nest has two young eagles that look almost ready to fledge. Mom and dad are busy providing the necessities of life for the young birds.

Mom put up with me for a couple of minutes the other day but her patience wore thin and she took off.

As time passes the youngsters get more independent, but for now, bravery takes second seat.

The plant was used at one time as feed for livestock.
