The Bald Eagle is back
The bald eagle came back this week to hang out at our osprey nest. In the summer, the osprey share a nest with house swallows and European starlings. Out of the corner of my eye, I think I saw the eagle shoo away some of the birds living in the nest. But he must have gotten too busy eating breakfast to bother with the 7 or 8 birds that came back to visit their home.

January! After being
inside a little too much lately, I decided to use the ”Birding in Southern Maryland” brochure by the
Southern Maryland Audubon Society to get out of the house and check out some local birds. I got a copy of the brochure from the St.
Mary’s County Department of Tourism and I also included the online link. I armed myself with my new Sigma 150-500 mm
lens and my Nikon D600. The brochure turned
out to be accurate. The information in
the brochure took me to a nearby swampy farming area not far from the
water. I quickly saw a bald eagle before
I could pull out my camera. I later
spotted a great blue heron in a field, lots of bluebirds sitting on a wire and three
European Starlings sharing some branches.
If you want to try birding, I can recommend the brochure.
