Trying to build a nest from scratch.....

            2019-12-17 5805-CR2-L1E1T2

This was the tree that the eagles tried to start their nest in. We watched this activity for more than a month but none of the branches they placed in the tree took hold. They finally gave up and built a nest in a tree probably within 50 feet of this one. 

Still going through the archives as I haven't had much luck going out lately. I am hopefully heading to this area on Tuesday morning, hopefully the weather and light work in my favor.
