--Apple-Mail-15--1051987940 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed MAR. 12, 2012 - Another gorgeous Sunny and warm (13 C.) early Spring? or late Winter? day. I checked out 7 BALD EAGLE NEST SITES (of about 9 very locally ) today, and the first 4 of them were during the lunch hour while listening to Maritime Noon: 3 of the nests had adults on them, and 2 or 3 were possibly incubating (or pseudo-incubating?), at Greenwich, e. of Wolfville, and at Lower Canard. I have mentioned before on NatureNS that, according to the Stokes' series of three field guides to bird behavior, in early Spring bald eagles engage in what is called "pseudo-incubation" -- i.e., they sit in incubation position for days before the first egg is laid. Of course egg dates are difficult to obtain without the use of a nest- camera like Randall Bishop has had in previous years at the Noggins Farm location at Greenwich. I didn't notice a camera set up there today. I also saw 2 adult bald eagles at Saxon St. Pond and 3 more adults south of the Canning Aboiteau. Cheers from Jim in Wolfville. --Apple-Mail-15--1051987940 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/html; charset=US-ASCII <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; "><font = face=3D"Helvetica" size=3D"3" style=3D"font: 12.0px Helvetica"><b>MAR. = 12, 2012</b> - Another gorgeous Sunny and warm (13 C.) <b>early Spring? = or late Winter?</b> day.</font></div><div style=3D"margin-top: = 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: = normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; = "><br></div><div style=3D"margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; = margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face=3D"Helvetica" = size=3D"3" style=3D"font: 12.0px Helvetica">I checked out <b>7 BALD = EAGLE NEST SITES </b>(of about 9 very locally ) today, and the first 4 = of them were during the lunch hour while listening to Maritime = Noon: 3 of the nests had adults on them, and 2 or 3 were possibly = incubating (or pseudo-incubating?), at Greenwich, e. of Wolfville, and = at Lower Canard.</font></div><div style=3D"margin-top: 0px; = margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal = normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "><br></div><div = style=3D"margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; = margin-left: 0px; "><font face=3D"Helvetica" size=3D"3" style=3D"font: = 12.0px Helvetica">I have mentioned before on NatureNS that, according to = the Stokes' series of three field guides to bird behavior, in early = Spring bald eagles engage in what is called = <b>"pseudo-incubation"</b> -- i.e., they sit in incubation = position for days before the first egg is laid.
