OUT ON A LIMB

One of the main reasons we moved to our present location was the opportunity to live below a Bald Eagle nest situated atop of a ancient Douglas Fir designated as a Wildlife Tree by the Ministry of Environment. Over the years the eagles have produced several young and this year the parents have again been busy providing for two eaglets -  photo at right. They are progressing well and have been venturing from the nest for the last week or so as they get stronger and feel the need to exercise their wings. I caught this one out on a limb over morning coffee.
