Redwing Black Bird Harasses Eagle in Busse woods
Jun 17, 2018 22:55:16 #
Was there to photograph the 2 eaglets progress towards first flight... About a block away mom was relaxing in a tree when this redwing blackbird showed up and really harassed the eagle.
I was about 800 feet away so the pics are not perfect... You will need to look closely to see the redwing in a few of the pictures...

it's easier to see what is happening if the shots are downloaded. are the young eagles still there?

Yes they are still in the nest... They have been jumping up and flapping wings so it shouldn't be long before they take some test flights...
I am going to the site as often as possible hopefully to catch early flights as I did last year.
Thanks for the visit
