around, emitting greenhouse gases, from Wolfville to Grand Pre and =
Avonport, to check on local bald eagle nests.  Of the six that I viewed, =
at least four had sitting adult female? eagles that were probably =
pseudo-incubating but possibly really incubating new eggs?  No way to =

the nests for when any youngsters make their first flights and then =
post-dating (35 days of incubation plus 12 weeks from hatching to =
fledging, the latter generally in July.

the Leungs=92 nest on West Long Island, North Grand Pre.  The new nest =
is on the north side of West Long Island Road, and right next to a =
farmhouse.  And it had an ad. eagle on it.
