Last year around this time I posted about a web cam with a live view of a Bald Eagle’s nest at Jordan Lake here in central North Carolina. The nest is once again active. Two eggs were deposited in the nest sometime between December 2-8 and are being incubated at this time. The link to [...] Read the rest of this entry »

Bald Eagles
May 18th, 2011On Saturday May 14 three Bald Eagles soared over the Museum headed north. The birds were seen by all three Rangers on duty that day (Kristin, Sara, and me).

Looking Back: Birds
December 31st, 2008With the closing of the year it’s perhaps time to look back and see what we’ve observed on the Explore the Wild/Catch the Wind Loop. Below, in the appropriate segments, I give totals for some of the species seen since January of last year.

3 Bald Eagles!
September 30th, 2008A female Wood Duck was in the Wetlands on the 21st of September. Traditionally, the third week in September sees a push of migrating hawks through the region when the winds are from the north. More often than not, the winds were from the north during the third and fourth weeks in September. Unfortunately for [...] Read the rest of this entry »
