--Boundary_(ID_5oiUeXKDsxsPmMEIpApgmg) Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT AUGUST 26, 2009 - I went to north Grand Pre's Evangeline Beach Campground to look for the BALD EAGLE NEST I heard about on Aug. 20/09 (2 swifts-watchers from Sackville, N.S.) (see notes that evening). The campground attendant kindly showed me on their site map where it was, and then a camper/trailer owner showed me exactly where it was. It's near the southern edge of the wooded area and is on top of a fairly tall spruce, I think, with a nice view, as usual for eagles. The camping woman told me rumour has it that "the crows" got the babies or caused the nest failure in early summer. The nest itself is fairly large with lots of sticks, and perhaps/hopefully they will try there next Spring. A nest in a campground is not unprecedented in Nova Scotia, since quite a few years ago there was a perennially successful nest in a popular campground on an island very near shore on Bras d'Or Lake. See the film, "Saving the Bald Eagle" produced by Cape Breton University for some views of that site. Bald eagles start nesting very early in March (later in Cape Breton?) when there are few to no campers present. --Boundary_(ID_5oiUeXKDsxsPmMEIpApgmg) Content-type: text/html; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable <html><body style=3D"word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; = -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div style=3D"margin-top: 0px; = margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><span = class=3D"Apple-style-span" style=3D"font-size: 12px; "><b>AUGUST 26, = 2009</b> - I went to north Grand Pre's <b>Evangeline Beach = Campground</b> to look for the <b>BALD EAGLE NEST</b> I heard about on = Aug. 20/09 (2 swifts-watchers from Sackville, N.S.)
