Hi Tweets,
I was birding in Discovery Park this afternoon and noticed a new (to me) bald eagle nest with two adults actively building it. The nest is in a large Douglas fir right on a heavily trafficked section of the Loop Trail. I was surprised that this would be an ideal choice for a nest, given the amount of foot traffic/dogs that pass immediately underneath the tree on an hourly basis. But the pair seemed not to take much notice, and I watched them for a few minutes as they swiped large branches from nearby trees to add to the nest.
If anyone has information about this nesting pair, I’d be interested in learning more about them. Is this a new pair or new nest? This nest location was not mentioned in last December’s discussion of BAEA nests in the area, and I’ve not noticed any eagle activity in this tree before now (but in my defense I’m usually more focused on my footing on this section of trail, not the treetops).
