It's interesting to learn that while some eagles migrate with the season, the ones in Maine are resident year-round. One wonders how they are programed! Well, abundant food in the form of fish has something to do with it.

Our resident eagles lay their eggs in early March, so it's not unusual that when they hatch they experience one of those late winter snow storms. And then you get to see in the morning the parent covered with snow brooding the eggs, then shaking it all off with her wings, while waiting for her mate to bring her breakfast or to relieve her at the nest so she can go off for take-out.

Cheerily,
