Bald Eagle IMG_3991
Since many groups discourage either posting images of nests, or giving their locations, I am not going to bother "sharing" this with a group. However, I did want to share with those who follow me on Flickr the curious nature of the general location of this nest that I learned about on Friday. Specifically, I have never seen, nor did I ever imagine a Bald Eagle nest in such close proximity to human activity. I captured this image in the parking lot of a shopping plaza with a large supermarket. A local told me the eagles have been there for at least two years, and managed to fledge two juveniles last year. This eagle flew in while I was observing. The other eagle that had been on the nest, took off a few minutes later leaving this guy to guard to site.
