Journal:
Six of us showed up to join
Lucy Seeds to observe the active
Eagle Nest that Lucy monitors in
Julington Creek. The adult eagle was
feeding a pair of eaglets early in
the morning and it was wonderful to
observe the activity through the
spotting scopes. Lucy explained to
all of us the life cycle and nesting
activity of Bald Eagles. She has
been observing this site for 11
years.
