Just a short post today, as it’s been a hellish nightmare in Delhi (see previous post), and I can barely muster the will to write. But there’s some good news from one place, at least: Idaho, where we feared that Lucy and Desi, the bald eagles that breed yearly on Stephen Barnard’s property, had disappeared (perhaps victim to an osprey attack).
They’re back—the eagles have landed! Stephen’s report:
I’m happy to report that the Aubrey Spring Ranch bald eagles [Haliaeetus leucocephalus] are doing well. I saw the female this morning and was sad because I thought she’d lost her mate, whom I hadn’t seen in several days. A little later I saw a head poking up from a new, improved nest. It was the male, probably sitting on eggs and giving Lucy a rest.
Well, I’m very happy to see the male returned. See…not everything in the world is going to hell. 😉
A very good news!
As usual, beautiful photos!
Excellent news and certainly much better than PCC’s. Yes, if, you know who had intended you to fly, would have given you wings. Never get tired of hearing that one.
Make sure you eat before your flight, PCC(E). I wouldn’t trust the inflight food, if you get the same plane.
Whew, what a relief to know that Desi is OK!
This morning I digiscoped Lucy flying into the nest to have a snack and relieve Desi of egg tending duties. Don’t expect videos any time soon. I have to learn how to edit.
Woo hoo! Reunited, and it feels so good…
Fantastic! I’m thrilled to know they’re both okay. 🙂
Very pleased to hear Desi is fine!
