While at Spring Valley Wildlife Area today, we saw a mature bald eagle!!!! 
Unfortunately, we saw it for only a few seconds.  We also noticed the 
beginnings of a raptor nest on the osprey tower in the marsh by the 
observation tower. If anyone has seen any activity on the tower, I'd like 
to hear about it. The "nest" was only four or five big sticks in a circle 
settled between the nails on the platform, so it may have been placed 
there when the tower was built and I just hadn't noticed it before. Again, 
any info would be great.
