Bald Eagles have been breeding at the Heron Reserve for a number of years and unfortunately lost their nest in a recent windstorm earlier this year. As you can see from the photo the old nest was massive and must have weighed a ton. Recently I noticed this tanglement of branches with leaves in the crotch of a cottonwood just over one of the trails which I had not noticed on previous visits. I did wonder at the time whether it was a nest or not and was pleasently surprised on the 25th that it is the new nest of the breeding pair of eagles.
Is it a nest
Confirmed
Also sighted today, the beaver, what I believe is a Pectoral Sandpiper and Dowitcher's ( S or L ) in amongst Green-winged Teal.
