This morning I had to run a few errands and had to wait a bit for a shop to open so I walked around the park down by the river. I took some pictures of a large nest up in the tree tops. I assume it is from a bald eagle because there are many of them nesting around here.
Sometimes I see the young birds in nests like this one or other activity from the adults. This nest looked very empty so I got up real close to take some pictures. I was also looking for feathers but I didn’t find any from an eagle.
Eagle Nest
There were a lot of crow feathers around though. I have a few of those so I left them. It almost seemed like the crow might have been attacked because there were an unusual number of them.
Eagles are often around the area this time of year. The river is very close by the nest so it seems like a nice location. The park is not too busy. Large owls have been known to attack people in some of the areas farther south. I’ve never heard of eagles attacking people but I wouldn't want to disturb them when they are nesting.
It is hard to get a feel for how big the nest is. It is way up at the top of the tree. I’ve read that they can get very heavy (up to two tons) because the eagles will use them many seasons.

Since it seems empty I thought about coming back with my drone to take some pictures of it but I’m not that good at piloting it and I might loose it. If there are any eagles around I would definitely not try it because eagles have been known to attack drones.
The river looked really nice this morning with some soft looking mist coming off of it.

Later on today I found some interesting looking feathers that I collected. I’m not sure what type of bird they are from. They kind of look like hawk feathers but they are really small.

Thanks for reading! Pictures were taken by me with my Galaxy S7
About 5 years ago I filmed a pair of eagles hunting from my balcony. I didn't have a good cam but thought you might want to see it.
Wow! That is really cool. Thanks for posting that! It is fun to see them in action and you can even hear the birds swimming.
