Thursday 3.12.09 Stebbins Road

In the bitter cold wind we spotted a pair of eagles perched on a dead branch on Stebbins Island. Huge flocks of honking Canada Geese flew over the bluffs- away from the warm VY waters were they had been feeding- to some favorite haunt around the bend and downriver. The male eagle flew over to the "Miksis" nest site, hung out, then booked up river. The female flew over to the vacated perch near the nest site. Two mature eagles flew over the bluffs, one took off downriver, the other flew towards the Dam. Still no sign of new building onto the old Red-Tailed nest.
