We were at the nest around 10:30 AM on 3-5-17. Jewel was on an upper branch then hopped onto the nest. This was taken around 10:48 AM. No feeding was seen at this time.

Thank you :) It was so windy, which was good and bad. Good because the branches moved out of the way, bad, had to hold onto the camera :) On Sun, Mar 5, 2017 at 3:19 PM, Marc [via Bald Eagles of Broward County, Florida] <[hidden email]> wrote:

Do you stand in the center of the street in the grass to take the picture? Sent from my iPhone On Mar 5, 2017, at 4:10 PM, Lil Gillar [via Bald Eagles of Broward County, Florida] <[hidden email]> wrote:

Excellent photo, Lil!
I will not be able to visit the nest for a few days and hope everyone keeps an eye on whether there may be a third eaglet. I now am thinking that if there is a third we should have seen it by now. On March 4th I also saw two eaglets being fed. Also, an Osprey flew in and made passes over the female (Jewel) who was roosting atop a pine far down to the east near 208th Avenue. They called and screamed at each other but Jewel remained perched as the Osprey swooped down several times before disappearing to the south. In a past season I saw an Osprey follow Pride right to the nest area. Pride was carrying a fish which I must presume he "stole" from the Osprey. Rather that lead the Osprey to the nest, he continued on with the Osprey in pursuit, but returned a few minutes with the fish but not the Osprey. I copied this image link from my Facebook page, the first time I have tried this.

Thank you Ken. Oh wow, so you think maybe a third eaglet? Hope to catch the whole family there next time. Marc, I stood at edge of street using a Tamron 150-600 lens, open to 600 then I cropped the picture. I hand held it for that picture :) On Sun, Mar 5, 2017 at 5:47 PM, NewMexiKen [via Bald Eagles of Broward County, Florida] <[hidden email]> wrote: Excellent photo, Lil! |
