Title: Bald Eagles nest Port Colborne

A pair of Eagels have built a beautiful nest in Port Colborne on INCO property on the east side of the canal.

I was there yesterday, they were aweseome, was told there were three eggs and the locals are waiting patiently for the young to hatch.
I was also told that they were trying to convince Inco to put an Eagle Cam not sure what the outcome of that will be (probably not)

This is on private property and fenced off, there is lots of marshland there as well, the sounds of frogs "chirping" was almost deafening LOL! but I could not even see ONE! they are well hidden.

My good friend Phil and I drove down yesterday (Saturday) afternoon to see the Eagles.  The female was in the nest the entire time we were there, the male sat in a tree not too far from the nest and flew off three times in search of food.  What a beautiful sight, well worth the trip!
