As the sun […] What’s Up While checking the crane on the nest before the sun was fully up — the bird was sleeping on the two eggs (as usual), I spotted two adult Brown Pelicans flying over the lake not far from the shore.

I got some nice stuff on adult cranes, both species of vulture, and a few not-too-great images of the young eagle flying around the South Peninsula. And I got lots of work done on my two […] What’s Up? Early on Tuesday morning I spotted the young eagle in a pine near the nest tree. Then it disappeared for the rest of the morning.

At 5:30pm, it was in the nest getting fed a big juicy fish by one of the adults. Can you say fledged, flying young? That morning I almost headed home without making a single […] What’s Up? Despite the cloudy forecast, Thursday morning dawned still and clear with a light mist in the air that cleared quickly. The crane in the North Marsh sat steadfastly on her nest with two eggs and the branched eaglet remained branched. The crane family on the South Peninsula was MIA.
