On the Water, Nov. 2010

These pictures were taken by Dennis Lee. He did a kayak trip on the Patuxent River Water Trail in early November and camped at two sites just south of our Park. He said he usually only sees one eagle a year and this one was the closest!

Unsteady Ladders?

Someone was bound and determined to finish installing gutter guards and left tallest part of roof for last. The outcome was miraculously successful, but don't try this at your home!!

These plus seven deer were seen at Chelsea, the farmhouse office property.

Harry flew in to visit the pond. We see him almost every day...

The Nest

The eagle nest at Patuxent River Park was MT when seen a few times today. It's deceptive from the road as the top, right has a few branches that look like an eagle's back with it's head down. There are still some big leaves, but you can look between some branches.
