Bird-watching near Avon yields stunning finds

Meanwhile, I’ve been doing my usual birdwatching with some unusual results.

In the Avon area, there’s a bald eagle that seems to have appropriated a “nest” of enormous proportions: I have seen the bird several times, perched atop a loose haystack the size of a small house.

It may, of course, just be lurking there in wait for a nice tasty rodent, but it looked a bit too comfortable to be in predator mode.

If it is nesting, I wonder if it’s taking credit for the construction work.Redwing blackbirds attract mates by having the best, safest nesting spots in the cattails. Bower birds lure mates into a carefully decorated “parlor.

...much better viewing that t.v :-)
