Patuxent River Bald Eagles Nest update











It has been months since I checked in on the nesting activities of this Bald Eagle nest. I have been unemployed for the past several months and it has been impossible to get over to the site. I finally got a chance to get over to the nest with the help of my good friend Jay Mcdaniel and his wife Shamala. They were enthusiastic about going over to the park and mabey having a chance to see the Bald Eagles. I was excited because I knew there was a chance of possibly seeing young Bald eagle fledge at the nest. The series of photos you will see show the juvenile at the nest site. The adult was there near the nest but left as soon as I arrived in view. I will probably go back to the nest site at a later date now that I know the nesting season was successful.

Morningside Eagles Nesting Pair

This is an update of the Bald Eagle nesting pair on GW Parkway. This is the results of the hatch this year. I saw this juvenile fledge in the nest a week prior to this photo. This is the fledge from this nest site, now ready to face the world and learn how to be an adult Bald Eagle. I took this photo late in the evening around 6:30pm so the light was not the best. June third 2011. I went back on the fourth of June but did not see the juvenile anywhere. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks mabey i'll get lucky again. I still have to check another nest site in MD and hopefully I'll see another fledge.
