2-22-2024 Morning Eagle Song
Our beautiful eagle pair awoke yesterday morning to a spectacular blue and orange sky. They were ready with a morning song to begin their day, with chortles that sounded like music to the listeners ears. They were likely just discussing their day like they always do, but their conversation sounded so light and lyrical.
Jackie had a thin layer of what looked like frost on her back feathers. Her view of the lake this morning was stunning as usual, with the glorious sun rising in the distance. A layer of fog was hovering over the lake and most of the snow had already disappeared around the nest.
Shadow didn't waste much time getting to the nest from the Cactus Snag tree, but of course on the way over, he did stop and pick up a stick somewhere along the way. Jackie may have been thinking he might bring her a fish & Shadow may have thought she would get up faster off the eggs! Once she stretched her wings, she was off quickly and was likely going to get a breakfish and enjoy the sunrise at the lake.
Shadow then stepped gently and cautiously into the nest to be with their eggs. At this moment, he was likely just the happiest Dad eagle in the world as he began his first Daddy duty shift of the day!
