Past-E-Mail: Cam Notes - 2011: November: Nov 09-11 |
By Mary Drew at Pasty Central (Mdrew) on Wednesday, November 9, 2011 - 09:54 am: As the rest of us that live UP North here prepare for the arrival of winter around our homes, so too, the eagles who stick around, prepare their nests. Frederic W. Koski captured two of them, as they worked on their nest and from the looks of it in the last photo, it's quite the nest, indeed. To the right of the eagle sitting on the branch, you can see the portion shown in the 2nd photo, but then below that, there seems to be another level that goes quite a way down the tree. It's amazing the size of the branches the eagles were carrying, from small sticks to quite large ones, too. Looks like these two are prepared for whatever weather comes our way... sure hope the rest of us are.

And thank you, Mary, for posting them this morning. The Bald Eagle is my favorite American bird of prey! By Donna (Donna) on Wednesday, November 9, 2011 - 10:28 am: WOW....those are phenomenal pics! WOWOWOW!!!!!And that looks like a coupla stories to that nest...living room, bedroom, kitchen....and the world is their bathroom...just imagine! LOL By Donna (Donna) on Wednesday, November 9, 2011 - 10:29 am: And as huge as those Eagles are, that "big stick" is probably a small branch....ripped right off the tree in a "fly-by"... By Shirley Waggoner (Shirlohio) on Wednesday, November 9, 2011 - 11:12 am: LOL! My oh my, Donna, you sure do have a wild imagination. ;) By Capt. Paul (Eclogite) on Wednesday, November 9, 2011 - 11:29 am: As big as that nest is, I wonder if they got the proper building permits before starting construction?? ;-) By Marsha, Genesee/Aura (Marsha) on Wednesday, November 9, 2011 - 11:38 am: These are absolutely wonderful pictures! By Helen Marie Chamberlain (Helen) on Wednesday, November 9, 2011 - 11:59 am: WHOA!!!!!!! Phenomenal pictures of this most beautiful bird. Thank you! By Thomas Baird (Thomas) on Wednesday, November 9, 2011 - 03:00 pm: How nice that our National Bird likes the Keweenaw for a nesting place. By mickill mouse (Ram4) on Wednesday, November 9, 2011 - 03:37 pm: On THIS day, I still miss you Terry. By Donna (Donna) on Wednesday, November 9, 2011 - 04:02 pm:
Wow...it's POURING that heavy wet snow outside...the ground is turning white... By mickill mouse (Ram4) on Wednesday, November 9, 2011 - 04:11 pm: Other than the stick, in the third picture, look at the wingspan on that eagle. Absolutely beautiful pictures. By Shirley Waggoner (Shirlohio) on Wednesday, November 9, 2011 - 04:23 pm: Well, let's face it pasty-netters, Donna has finally flipped. ;) While y'all UP nawth are catching them flakes on yer tongue, swallow 'em so they won't move south!;9 By Marianne Y (Marianne) on Wednesday, November 9, 2011 - 04:46 pm:
Donna, it really is snowing a lot right UP there now! I see on the Tech web cams that even the football team is having an indoor practice. It is fun to watch the huge flakes streaming down on Tech's motion cams. By Alex "UP-Goldwinger" (Alex) on Wednesday, November 9, 2011 - 07:25 pm:
