Cross my heart and hope to die, I am sure that there were eagles nesting on Blueberry, a place I wanted to kayak to on a couple of occasions and ran into too much boat traffic so did not get to see them in the nest! However, this morning two different eagles at different times were here on my beach. Wow when they fly off, the wing span is huge! My neighbors have all kinds of pictures. I believe we had an eagle nest there last year as well.
PS For those who like to learn,

I taught school for a short time and know to too and two as in... going TO the store where I can get TWO loaves of bread and hope TO be back in time TO see the TWO eagles TOO. LOL Off am I.

Default Eagles

That picture I posted was taken about June 10th, 2010 on the end of Blueberry furthest from Blackcat but on the backside from where people raft. The actual nest has disappeared now but it was on top of one of the trees that appears to be missing its top maybe 30 yards from the rock point. The eagle family still stops by that tree without the nest. There was a story in one of the papers about a new eagle having a transmitter attached 3 miles from Center Harbor this year. Probably the same nest/eagle group. I had seen a similar nest last year on nearby Hull Island. Did not want to post that picture too quickly so as to not draw attention so close to a popular rafting location. I doubt most of them knew what was in the trees right behind them.

Default I Finally Saw My First Bald Eagle

It was flying between Pine and Loon Island and it landed in a tall tree on the mainland just to the right of Shep Brown's.

Beautiful!!!
