[TN-Bird] Bald Eagle's Nest Building / Memphis

Nov. 22, 2007
Ensley Bottoms
Shelby Co, TN
 
For over 6 weeks the Ensley Bald Eagles have been toting building  materials. 
The first try, weeks ago, was up on the bluff but evidently  proved 
unsuitable. Last week, they were seen adding to a second nest which they  
started on 
top of an old Red-tail nest that was occupied last year by a Great  Horned Owl. 
Here the large female took to standing on the nest and  arranging the material 
as the smaller male made deliveries. This second nest was  not in a great 
location as it was right on the road and in plain view. Robert  Gooch and I 
kept 
an eye on their progress and we could only hope for the best.  Thank goodness 
today they had moved again to another location, a little bit  better but not 
much, not quite as obvious as number two but still a location  that could 
present some problems. Maybe this one will take, maybe not. Here's  wishing 
them 
success in their search for a new home in the  bottoms...............  
Good Birding  !!!
