Another Assabet Eaglet

 

The Assabet River held a few surprises yesterday.  The first was hearing from another kayaker that an eaglet had hatched recently in a riverside nest.  He was correct as I would later catch this glimpse of the eaglet's head...

...along with one of the proud parents standing guard...

...and seemingly pondering the future.

This nest produced 2 eaglets in both 2021 and 2022.  Not sure yet if there's a second eaglet this time.

Another surprise was this lone sandpiper, perhaps a greater yellowlegs...

An egg and a "mini bottle"...

Apple blossoms?...

Trash included 14 "mini bottles"...
