Merlin at Home with House Sparrow

Juvenile eagles have left the nest

After some 120+ days since I calculated the eggs laid the young eagles have left the nest and still learning the skills of flight. A adult returns to the nest with food for them two to three times daily.
The shots of the Merlin are at Buttertubs Marsh.

Young Eagles

The young eagles are progressing nicely. During coffee this morning I managed to get these images. After being fed they did their exercises. 

Buttertubs Marsh

Quiet during my visit yesterday. The Marsh Wrens were singing along with Yellow Warblers and Pied-billed Grebe calling. Had good views of Wood Duck in eclipse, two juvenile's, a Great Blue Heron and Hooded Mergansers.

Food for a growing family

Breeding Activity

The eagles have been active around the nest these last few weeks adding branches and spending time fixing house. I caught them copulating on several occasions and am convinced they are now incubating eggs. I have been fortunate, while having coffee, to watch a nest change, sharing incubation. These are the latest images.
