Still lots of Common Mergansers hanging out on the lake. On Wednesday there was a pair of Long Tailed Ducks in the mix. Was pleased to have found Song, Swamp and Field Sparrows. There is a pair of very busy and vocal Kingfishers in the vicinity as well.
Yesterday there were two Eagles at the nest. One flew off while I spied. It certainly looks to me as if there is feeding activity going on. The remaining adult was not sitting on the nest but rather, at the edge. There was head movement that I imagined was that of ripping up little pieces of fish and feeding the young. On my return walk from the Purvis Preserve section I could not see anything on the nest (or the lake) due to a white out of a snow storm.
