> APRIL 9, 2016 - I looked at the debris under the former bald eagle =
nest-site along Lower Church St., like Richard did earlier.  I found =
parts of 4 mammal skulls: 3 muskrat upper jaws and a lower jaw probably =
of a raccoon.  Probably some or all of these were road-killed critters?  =
There=92s no telling how long those skulls had been there on the ground, =
with a few years=92 accumulation of lots of nesting sticks plus fallen =
branches.  And, like Richard, I saw no egg-shells, but a thorough search =
was not made.  And no eagles were seen there.  Also I didn=92t see any =
white feathers of chickens.

the adults build another nest are often unanswered.
