On the 22nd of February 2011, a fierce storm snapped the crown of the pine tree across the creek from us. When we woke up, we saw the damage; the eagles' nest was gone. The eagles were circling widely, clearly furious. They had lost everything, including several eggs. They were so angry they had trouble deciding whether to start over or give up, it seemed. One finally decided they had to go on, and brought a stick to the tree directly across the street from us. It fell to the ground, but it kept bringing more, until limbs stuck in place and eventually they could land on it and arrange the sticks. They managed to mate again and have three chicks. We see that nest every day. It's now about 8x12x5 feet deep. It will eventually cause the tree to snap, but in the mean time, we are awakened by eagles every day about 5:30. We see them perched on their fishing branch over the creek. We can tell the meanings of every one of their songs, which vary with the situation and the time of year. We watch the chicks grow and fledge. They live right at the street, over the streetlight. We joke that we should nail a street number to the tree, so they have an official address, since they are at least as permanent as anyone else here. So this book was of particular interest.Inside A Bald Eagle's Nest takes you on a breathtaking trip. Excellent photography enables you to see close up and in magnificent detail, the annual cycle the eagles live by. There is just enough text in this coffee table book to provide color commentary, but the photos do most of the talking. What we cannot see from across the street are the eggs, the eagles rolling them (so the unborn chicks won't stick to one side), or the newborns. So we are grateful for those shots that fill in the blanks.
