Patuxent River Park Eagle Nest, Oct. 2015

Tree ID;


Mom and Eaglet...

MT Nest

MT Tree!!!!!!

Had NO idea that this was a picture of the Nest Tree!!  Have new computer, so over the weekend installed some of the earlier eagle photos taken from old computer.  The "elbow" told the tale.

Saturday, explored the left side of the creek where the nest tree grows, but didn't see it.  This was before discovering the "elbow" pics.
Here is a huge fallen tree, we think fairly close to the nest tree. The center/top part of this tree is facing bottom of picture...

There were mounds of broken sticks spread out not too far from the downed tree!....

If this is enlarged, an interesting view of the sticks is that they are broken on both sides!....construction use?...

A tree that fell must be the culprit, as you can notice on the empty nest tree that other branches are broken off and the surrounding area is more open.
