The eaglets have landed
Posted By markmyers on May 2, 2010
Sam has some really special visitors in the area that we went to visit yesterday at the Heinz Wildlife Refuge. Can you spot them?
What, you don’t see them? Look closer!
In the upper right of the image there is a bald eagle nest! That’s right, for only the third time in 200 years, there is a nesting pair of bald eagles in the Philadelphia region. The nest here has two small male eaglets! Look to the left and down slightly from the nest, just to the right of the tree trunk. There you can see a bald eagle in all his glory! As a father, I like to imagine that is the male, watching guard over his growing young family. This is an incredible sight for us, only the second eagle I have ever seen in the wild and Pam and Sam’s first! It was well worth the three-mile round trip hike in 90 degree heat. Doesn’t Sam looked thrilled?
I suspect we’ll be seeing lots more of that happy face in the future as I drag her around to revel in nature’s grandeur.

Love the sunglasses. Just wait til she is walking and you make her walk the 3 miles, then we will see a happy face!!
By that time, she will likely be fine and I will be grumpy one!
