On Franklin Hill Farm: A Great Blue Heron

And other birds I’ve been blessed to see and sometimes photograph

By Bettina Sperry

For the past several years, I’ve had many opportunities to observe our local population of woodpeckers, bluebirds, kingfishers, various owls, and even eagles that nest several miles down the road from Franklin Hill Farm, by our neighborhood lake. I’ve even had the blessing of finding the most beautiful bird’s nest constructed out of duck feathers.

Shirley saw this waterfall in the State of Oregon while visiting our oldest granddaughter and her three sons. It isn’t far from the City of Salem. The eagle was not in their field of view, but it entered Shirley’s imagination.

I just clicked on Moristotle's 10th most popular post all-time and was delighted to see that the nest is currently being sat on:

Many thanks to our former next-door neighbor in Chapel Hill for sending me the link to a webcam posted near an eagle 's nest at Lake Jordan...

Enjoy!

Eagle webcam in Decorah, Iowa

Bald Eagle

My neighbor who provided a link to the "Eagle webcam at Jordan Lake" has provided me another one. Says she:

The second camera is in Decorah, Iowa. Straight across the upper part of Iowa from my family. I watched it all last year and it has sound and can be seen at night. Right now the parents come at various times to check the nest and eat. They will not lay eggs until the later part of February. It will be fun to watch the different age babies

Many thanks to our former next-door neighbor in Chapel Hill for sending me the link to a webcam posted near an eagle's nest at Lake Jordan, in North Carolina.
