Local Eagle

We are blessed to have an eagle nest that (remarkably) is readily accessible to human visitors for viewing. The eagle pair have lived here for the past 15 years or so and have raised numerous offspring at the rate of two and sometimes three per year.

They are quite familiar and seemingly comfortable with the activities taking place below them, as the immediate vicinity is busy during the summer with boat launching and during the winter with ice fishing.

The eagles have been named Pete and Paulie by the locals and take advantage in the winter of donations of fish that the fishermen can’t use.

Here, Pete (or perhaps Paulie) executes a landing, delivering nesting materials foraged in the area.

Grackle In The Grass

Sweetman’s Garden has lots of birds to photograph on most days.

This day was unusual as only a solitary grackle was present when I visited.

But the light was so good that it all worked out just fine.

Osprey

This bird was perched high on the branch very near the nest, calling plaintively over and over.

Hoping that a prospective mate might get curious, I suppose.

Winter Birds

Chickadees stay over the winter.

It helps if there is a feeder full of Black Sunflower Seeds in the vicinity.

Osprey Landing

The Osprey is a pretty neat bird. Master of his environment.

This landing is controlled and delicate.
