We observe the Scots Bay nest just about everyday. Usually, there are =
one or two adults on or near the nest behind the Firehall. The nest was =
almost destroyed in a wind storm, but they have spent much of the Winter =
rebuilding it.

There are one or two  Imm. B Eagle who hang around the area but we have =
only seen one in the nest once before. I would say that the adult pair =
is going to try again once again this year. I will keep you informed.

  MARCH 25, 2015 - This morning at home in east Wolfville, Pat said =
there was a =93cacophony=94 of songs and calls from our menagerie of =
ground-feeding birds, again thanks to the daily handouts from our =
neighbour Sylvia Holmes.

  Another gorgeous sunny windless day to check three bald eagle nests =
for occupancy:

  - Lower Canard Road - an adult eagle was in the nest and very =
difficult to see (sitting tightly in incubation position, and a second =
adult (male?) was perched on the top of a nearby tree;

  - Scots=92 Bay, Huntley Road - when I arrived I spotted an eagle, but =
clearly not an adult, perched in the tree close to the nest =97 soon it =
flew the short distance to the nest, landed, and proceeded to rearrange =
existing twigs in the nest =97 but this eagle was definitely not an =
adult =97 it had brown markings on the face in the =93osprey=94 pattern, =
thus was perhaps 3.5 years old or older (the head was not yet mostly =
white) =97 another eagle, a younger immature bird that was mostly brown, =
was perched not far away in a tree-top;

  - Blomidon, top of cliff above water =97 an adult eagle was sitting =
tightly in the nest.

  Cheers from Jim in Wolfville =97 HAPPY SPRING!?
