I am ready to share about the American Bald Eagle family , along with the pictures of these majestic birds . Before I share J.C.'s first side of the story, I want to share an experience my dad had while he was outside. In 2005 we were having our lanai glassed in , and my dad kept watch with the workers. Well, one day they all were out in our backyard when all of the sudden a large shadow flew over. We have a lot of vultures and hawks too, so my dad thought it was a vulture. However the head boss on the job told him it was an eagle! I was so excited when he told me that, but we never thought about actually going and looking for a nest.

2011

Now here is where J.C.'s side of the American Bald Eagle Tales begins. J.C. my eagle buddy and former neighbor told me that the person who helped him find his house, told him about a family of American Bald Eagles, and they talked about the nest. J.C. and his wife got settled , and then while he was exploring the Forest Hill Cemetery where the American Bald Eagles nest was, He also met a resident who watched the eagles. Who had lived across from the nest site for eight years. J.C. gave him some more background information about the family of eagles. I discovered about the eagles when J.C. told me about them. and I gave him the web address to my website as well.
I was so excited! So, I told my mom that J.C. had , asked me to go over and help him , find my website, because at the time it was on an Italian web host, and that he had some pictures to show me.

Then, I rushed over there as fast as I could walk in high heels. He was waiting at his front door, because he had heard my feet stomping on the pavement

, I joked with him about how the entire block could hear me coming . He laughed while he let me in and I kicked off my shoes. I did not want to scratch up their nice wooden floors, before, J.C. introduced me to a beautiful simonies cat that he was holding. I asked him if she was their cat, and he explained how she was the community cat, and how the men at the maintenance garage took care of her, but she came to their house for visits. J.C. , told me that the cat was called, Two Socks.
She had the most gorgeous blue eyes, and as he held her and tried to let me pet her, but she was not so sure of me yet, so she scrambled to get down, before she ran away. I told him that I understood , I was a stranger to her. Then, we went to his computer where he showed me his pictures of the sunset with the moon that I asked him to send me, before he showed me his pictures of the American Bald Eagles. I was in love , and I told him I wanted to go see the nest with him sometime. He told me that I was welcome to come, and I was beyond thrilled, I eagerly told him to let me know when. Wow! A family of American Bald Eagles living and raising young outside of our community! I thought to myself, while he showed me pictures of his bluebird box with baby bluebirds inside that he had at his other home. Along with pictures of Two Socks, and I could see why she was called that, two of her paws looked like she had two socks on.

After he showed me his pictures, I told him about my other Once Upon A Dream website. We looked at the pictures on there and he was impressed with how long I had been writing posts. I just smiled, and thanked him. Then, I went home and told my mom all about the eagles nest, and how I thought the only way I could see American Bald Eagles would be at the zoo, which I did. It was just very exciting thinking about seeing them in the wild!
Not only in the wild , but practically in my backyard as J.C. had said. So, I was not going to pass up any moment of this opportunity !

J.C.'s picture from 3-2-11

My friend and neighbor, J.C. saw another man taking pictures with a camera he knew he had to have. So, he talked to the man, and the man told him the camera was a Nikon , and J.C. was amazed at the quality of pictures this camera took. So, the nature watcher went out and bought one , and sent me his first two pictures that he took with the Nikon.
Above is a picture of Papa Eagle (later to be give a name in another American Bald Eagle Tale).

Papa Eagle was sitting in a tree probably close to the nest , if not in a branch above it .
Here J.C.'s second picture where Papa Eagle watched over the eaglet (also to be given a name later.)

Here J.C.'s second picture where Papa Eagle watched over the eaglet (also to be given a name later.) ‍ Here is an eagle fact in case some of you were wondering how I knew the male apart from the female. The female is larger in size and she has a very distinct "eye shadow" over her eye. Also when you see pictures of Mama Eagle look at how close her eyes are to the back of her beak. I also found out from my bird book that eagles can spread their wings out from 7 to 8 feet. While you all wait for the next chapter of American Bald Eagle Tales, check out this really cool website. Here you can watch another family of American Bald Eagles as they live in Decorah, Iowa. There is a nest cam and all kinds of other neat stuff on there. Here is the URL:http://www.farmyou.com/falcon_cams/index.html On the nest cam in 2011, two eaglet chicks had just hatched and another egg was going to hatch soon after the first two. Mama was trying to keep the little eaglet chicks tucked under her, they did not want to go to bed. The following morning, Mama eagle was awake, when I took another peek. The third eaglet hatched, on a Saturday morning in the same month. So, the nest was really full and active . I'll post the next chapter soon! Enjoy! Proud Fan Of Alexei Yagudin ;)

Then, she grew into a bigger eaglet who enjoyed exploring out side of her nest, before she started to spead out her wings. Then, she grew even stronger and soared through the sky , before she learned how to land , and then hunt. That moment happened on 4-11-11 , on a Monday when J.C. returned to the nest. He looked for the eagle family around the nest, but they were not there. After he did some more searching, he found them in a farmer's field that was near by. Mama and Papa were training the young eagle how to hunt for her self. Here is J.C.'s picture of the young eagle learning how to hunt. Not long after that the eagle family left for the summer, and J.C. sent me a picture of Mama and Papa when they returned in Septemeber. Here is J.C.'s picture of Mama Eagle And Papa Eagle . Their return was the beginning of the next American Bald Eagle Tales From 2012, but first I want to share pictures of Miss. Two Socks and some ducks that came for a viist after the eagles left.
