This was taken on Saturday morning at the Ravines Park near GVSU. We watched both Eagles fly into their favorite Sycamore tree so we positioned ourselves between this tree and their nest. the first eagle took off and headed straight for the nest, we knew the this second Eagle would not be far behind. We waited about 2 minutes and this eagle broke a branch off the tree and flew straight at us.
It was fun to see these birds fly overhead.
Now that the leaves are off the trees the hidden bird nests show themselves. The orioles who owned this nest found some orange yarn somewhere to brighten up their abode.

The State Savings Loan and Trust is a historic bank building located at 428 Maine Street in Quincy. The bank was built in 1892 for brothers Lorenzo and Charles H. Bull, who were prominent Quincy businessmen and community leaders. The Chicago architectural firm Patton & Fisher designed the bank in the Richardsonian Romanesque style. The western addition (on the right) was designed in 1906 by prominent Quincy architect Ernest M. Wood. Constructed of pink Missouri granite, the building's exterior is graced by handsomely carved Romanesque decorative details, massive iron and oak doors, and beautiful curvilinear window grilles of wrought iron. The building has a five bay facade, with three bays on the original portion and two on the addition; the bays are each marked by a window with a thick stone arch. The original section is topped by a large front-facing gable, providing for attic space above the second story.
The ground floor of the historic structure is now occupied by a restaurant, with office space above. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.

"According to a 2020 study using a molecular clock calibrated with 27 chelicerate fossils, spiders most likely diverged from other chelicerates between 375 and 328 million years ago.
The discovery of Chimerarachne in early Late Cretaceous (Cenomanian) aged Burmese amber has also demonstrated that taxa existed until the Cretaceous that had both spinnerets, and a whip-like telson."

Beavers build dams and lodges using tree branches, vegetation, rocks and mud; they chew down trees for building material. Dams restrict water flow, and lodges serve as shelters. Their infrastructure creates wetlands used by many other species, and because of their effect on other organisms in the ecosystem, beavers are considered a keystone species.
