Some Eagles Return

Late yesterday I heard a familiar sound but one I hadn't heard for a while; two eagles calling back and forth.

I went out on the deck and the calls grew more intense. One eagle was in the tree south of our deck and as I watched a second eagle flew up into the same tree. The "chirping" was constant as the second bird landed and moved over next to the first bird.

After what seemed to be a greeting the two birds sat silently next to each other. This was the first time in over two weeks that I saw more than one eagle near our house.

To make things even better I could hear the call of another eagle down the beach to the north.

The eagles all disappeared after the huge fireworks show along the Indianola shore this year. One returned after a few days but it took over two weeks for more to return. I haven't been able to confirm more than three in the area at once so it would appear that some have not yet returned but I'll keep watching and listening.

Read back through my July posts for the whole story and pictures of the eagles.
