More Bird Troubles

Good luck with the Kildeer birds. Maybe the eagle already has the nest spotted, if the neighbor cats and the local racoon don't find it first. Except for the cats, it is nature's way.

I don't mind the Kildeer being on the protected list, but in Wisconsin the feral cats are also on the same protected list. Hmmm? Something not right about that scenario.

The killdeers all hatched and are no longer living in the driveway.

On another note, I thought my wife was crazy when she was insisting she saw a bald eagle. I stand corrected... There was an article in yesterday's paper about a couple of eaglets in a nest half a mile away!

Here are a couple of interesting facts from the article...

In 1976, there were FOUR bald eagle nests in the state of Ohio. There are 125 known nests in the state this year.

The nest up the road is 5 feet across, 3 feet deep, weighing around 500 pounds.

Now that I know they are really there, I'll be watching for them and I'll try to get a picture of them.
