Index of Subjects --00000000000039809d05a1291841 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Thanks Jim, Interesting, and success again for our local eagles. That new nest at Grand Pre has had a pair of eagles around it, and were building or repairing it all winter. It's a big nest, so it could be an old one they have repaired and occupied. 20+ Robins and quite a few Red winged blackbirds and grackles, as well as big flocks of Cedar Waxwings, have been at our place and Miners Marsh, and presumably points between, for at least a week now. Our pair of Pine warblers are still coming to the feeders. Look on the bright side - Social distancing is a great opportunity to go into the great outdoors and enjoy the birds!
