WOW!!! Arent they the most beautiful birds..
To think we almost lost them and now they have come back in huge numbers.... hopefully a blessing for our Country in more ways than one.
We have a few nests around here and many times I have looked up in time to take in their beauty as they floated above me. What made me look up?
The first time though was the most memorable.. not like these..
But when I saw it flying, in that moment, I dont think I took a breath. I ran to the phone to call Duane at the firehouse and he told me then that he knew we had a nest in the reservoir across the street.
At another more public area, I love showing the children with the binoculars the nesting babies. Of course it is usually the parents who didnt know about the nest who are most excited.
The nest locations are kept pretty secret.
