Bald Eagles

Here’s a pic of the bald eagle nest and the mother eagle guarding the nest. This is from a very conservation minded farmer that we started working with this year. We were discussing converting the crop field below the tree back into pasture while the bald eagle flew up. The eagle pair stay there year-round and hatch a fledgling nearly every year. The eagles will see the 500-acre corn field below them be transformed from row crop corn production to grass. They should have more critters to eat and maybe they will tell their friends. Hopefully they won’t bother our calves. We have bald eagles near our home farm and see them every year when it’s calving time, but they seem to only want the afterbirth. He also built a 67-acre lake nearby and has dozens of Purple Martin houses that attract the migrating birds every year.
