Bald eagle Ellie looking for her next meal. November 23, 2024
With all of the rain over the last few weeks and with the ponds full we have now seen the return of the usual water fowl.
So far I have checked off the list ~
Buffleheads
Widgeons
Hooded Mergansers and of course Mallards .
Here we we see Ellie perched out on a branch ( Pond Perch ) looking quite focused on her next meal perhaps.
She dive bombs the pond, pulls up and swoops behind the large willow tree. Don’t blink you’ll miss that.

Ellie and Eddy. Just hanging out together. November 23, 2024
มุมมอง 682 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
I like it when they are just hanging out together and resting . It’s during these moments I try to zoom in and capture a close up shot. In this case it’s Eddy who is my subject. The lighting is very good which allows a glimpse of the cornea of its eye.

We see Eddy arrives first followed by Ellie moments later. I still at times get confused as to who is who. It certainly helps when they are side by side as Ellie is larger in width. I also pay attention to the pattern of the feathering on their wings. When their wings are folded in and the lighting is just so Eddy’s pattern is somewhat denser at the shoulder. (Lesser Coverts?) I read recently t...

The eagles arrived later than usual this morning and have been around for a few hours. Here we see Eddy who was the first to arrive struggling to find that “perfect spot “ for his somewhat awkward branch.

It’s been one year since my first post Here’s the flash back and another from this morning. Many thanks for all of you that have shown interest and encouragement. ❤️ I know how fortunate I am and how grateful I feel to be able to continue to share Ellie and Eddy’s stories. th-cam.com/video/ON-gv-8y1BM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=vB29lN8ORytvjIES

As Ellie is perched just above the nest Eddy keeps his eyes on her. Managed to get a couple of close ups too.

Both eagles back to the nest on this very blustery day. 🌬️💨 I saw Eddy in the nest and when I panned around I caught a glimpse of Ellie’s tail. Towards the end you will see Ellie catch Eddy taking off and she follows suit. They returned within minutes bringing yet more branches. After last night’s storm there is no shortage of branches on the ground!
It was a stormy night in the nest! 🌬️ November 20, 2024

Just a quick example of the nest from last night. The trees were swaying and the camera too.

So Ellie and Eddy left the nest early in the afternoon as the winds started to pick up. My guess is they didn’t go far from the property. Most likely finding shelter perched in a tree on the less windy side of Bear Hill just west of the farm. Not too much damage on our property from the “Bomb Cyclone” but others on the island weren’t as lucky. Fortunately the nest is fine with only a few branch...

Just when I thought I had found a pattern in their behaviour. Over the past month or more, with many “weather events”, they have always been busy with the nest improvements. Shortly after they disappear for a day or two. I assume hunkered down somewhere safe. Now we have one of the largest storms about to happen in several hours and it would appear that they might just hunker down here. What do...

They both arrived at the nest within a few seconds of each other this morning . They both have been staying around since with only a few trips away. Lots of calling to each other whenever one is away for more than a few minutes.
