Yesterday, I posted news of the failure of the well publicized eagle nest  at
the Old Dutch Tavern in Sandusky.

A few minutes ago, as I went out to pick asparagus, a large shadow passed
over me.  I looked up to see a young eagle being harassed by a  blackbird.  The
eagle circled to land in one of my cottonwoods and I was  surprised to see
that it landed by a second young eagle.  I looked  further up the tree and saw a
perched adult.  After much calling and some  moving from branch to branch, the
young eagles flew off and the adult followed  shortly after.  It was then I
noticed a second adult almost hidden on the  back side of the same tree.

What a great experience to have an entire eagle family visit my yard!   I
live within a few miles of the McCartney Road eagle nest, which is just about
impossible to observe.  Perhaps that is where these birds hatched.
