Bald Eagles at Ritter Farm, 2010

Epilogue: My work schedule prevented my spending more time watching the eagles. By the end of April, I was fairly certain the eagles did not have a chick. Hopefully next year...

Spring 2010: A pair of Bald Eagles is nesting at Ritter Farm Park near Lakeville, MN. This is not the eagles' first season nesting here (I think it's their third), but this is my first season viewing them. My goal is to photograph this couple through the summer as they raise their young, and share the images with you on my website. Enjoy...

Friday, April 9, 9:10am: I arrived at my viewing spot at 8:20. Both eagles were absent from the nest. There is still no sign of the chicks. At 9:10, both eagles circled the nest, with this one carrying part of a fresh kill which he (she?) deposited in the nest. The kill looks like a rabbit.
