The weather forecast yesterday was a little ambiguous with a rainy day being predicted overall, but with the caveat that heavy and steadier rain might hold off until midday or later. Hmm, sounded like a gamble worth taking. Launched around 9 am from the Lincoln (MA) Canoe Launch and noted an ominous-looking sky above the Sudbury River...
Had a brief encounter with a coyote early on but wasn't fast enough to get a photo.
...which was subsequently flown to the nest. This has me guessing there's an eaglet or two in the nest. If so, this completes an eagle trifecta of sorts as, so far this spring, I've seen eagles tending nests in three local rivers, the Nashua, Assabet, and Sudbury.
...but thankfully the rain held off. I'd later find the areas to the west such as Worcester received more than an inch of rain.
Later this adult eagle was seen in its nest...
The same eagle or perhaps its mate was seen a short while later retrieving food on the ground...
The other adult eagle was perched in a tree within sight of the nest...
Eastern kingbirds have recently arrived...
Did I awaken this sleeping donkey?...
Fairhaven Bay looked a little less fair...
The trash also stayed on the light side...
