I was very happy to read your post, Ken. Just yesterday I posted about how my observations have changed with the departures of the eagles in a response to Lisa's inquiry about Sunday nest watching. I wasn't sure if it would be appreciated on this site if we talked about subjects other than bald eagles.....but your post makes a perfect statement about why we should continue to study and explore their habitat while the eagles are away.

I have found myself taking pictures of grasshoppers, marsh rabbits and lots of other residents of the surrounding nest areas. The other day with Tom and Umberto, I drew the line at snakes...but if it's for the benefit of the eagles, I'll even attempt to get over my snake issues.


Having watched the eagles for so long I miss the close study of their appearances and behaviors, always looking for any tiny development or change from one day to the next.  I am very excited to realize the need for us to continue learning about and documenting the diversity of the area chosen by the bald eagle pair to raise their young.
