Tuesday, Jan. 15, 2008: The eagle nest at Yatesville Lake does not look
like it has been "readied" for the new nesting season. The birds
typically add new sticks to the nest prior to egg laying each year in my
experience. No adults were visible around the nest site from the goose
pasture. Back in early December, the area manager glimpsed an adult
carrying a large beaver stick away from the Arrington Branch section of
the lake, across Rt 32, towards private forested land. The bird could
have circled back around towards the lake though and gone anywhere.
Today, an immature bald eagle was soaring around the Arrington Branch
section of the lake about a half mile from the nest. Near the new gas
line right-of-way on Cherokee Road, a Carolina chickadee was feeding on
poison ivy berries. Robins were feeding on wild grapes. A handful of
yellow-rumped warblers were flitting around too. Two white-crowned
sparrows posed in the sunlight atop a multiflora rose bush at the edge
of the road.
