Eagle's Nest (3-17-2010) Click on pictures for full size
Well today Helen and I decided to get out and do some more geocaching. We were heading up to Warsaw, Indiana (where we used to live) but I wanted to make a quick stop and check out this eagle's nest near Huntington, IN. Before today I had never seen a Bald Eagle or the nest of one. I had heard that they had been spotted quite a bit around the reservoir and along the Wabash River. I did some looking on Google and found where a nest was known to be located. The picture on the left is the Eagle's Nest.
A closer shot here, do you see the woodpecker on the trunk of the tree?? Just below the nest, it has a red head. Notice the size of the nest compared to the size of the woodpecker. I could lay down in that thing and take a nap.. well until the eagle's came home I suppose 8)
Just a zoomed out shot showing the whole tree, and the flooded Wabash River below.
After leaving the nest we went on up to the Warsaw area, this was taken in Winona Lake, IN.
We really did do some geocaching as well! Here I am with a geocache I found near North Webster, IN.
Helen don't like to drive at night, so we headed home shortly after this.. 2 weeks and I will have my license back ;)

On the way home I had Helen stop, so I could make the hike back to the eagle nest once again. I thought maybe since it was getting dark the birds would be more active and maybe I could actually get a picture of an eagle. No such luck though, all I got was another photo of a nest, this time with a sunset behind it. I have made it my goal this year, to get a picture of a Bald Eagle in the wild. I WILL get one, and you will see it right here. I have heard that there have been quite a few sightings this year around the Salamonie.
Last picture of the day, not the best because I took it out the window of the car at highway speed, but you get the idea, That sliver in the sky would be the moon.
