In Bastrop County, driving on Hwy 71, heading east, just past the
Smithville, I turned left on Loop Rd. Loop Rd is difficult to see, it's
only on the left side of the road, but it's just past what I think people
call Shipp Lake (dried up). A lady had told me that there had been Bald
Eagles there years earlier so I looked and there they were. Driving on Loop
Rd, after the Hurta ?sp residence on the right (there is a large entrance
sign to their residence), the road takes a very sharp left curve and then
the eagles are on the right. You'll be able to see tall trees and the nest
in the distance. I'm estimating less than a quarter mile after the sharp
curve and before a little bridge. It's possible there is another nest to
the left of the larger one but I'm not sure about that one.

the pictures. I'm still practicing with Flicker so I've put various things
out there.
The whole road is a nice birding spot, very few cars if any. I'm pretty
sure it was Brush who had mentioned the road before and it's likely someone
has even noted the Bald Eagles but I've been checking Texbirds for quite a
while now and I hadn't seen anything about these Bald Eagles.
