On my way home from Wabanaki Wilderness (archery shop) earlier this week I drove through Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge to Magurrewock Marsh. I hoped the pair of American bald eagles would be there, and I wasn’t disappointed. I spotted the first eagle on the nesting platform just off Rt 1 in Baring.
One of the two bald eagles sits on the nesting platform.
The 300 mm lens is no match for the distance so I took a few pictures, put the camera down, and watched the eagle bathe in a break in the ice.
The eagle took a bath in a break in the ice in the marsh.
At first I thought the eagle might be hurt. It was so wet I thought it must have been struggling in the water. When it was done it flew to a maple tree near the nesting platform and open water of the marsh.
