Still in the nest!

We haven't had a lot of luck getting out and about lately.....it has been too windy to take the canoe out.  When it is hot the wind makes things bearable and it keeps the mosquitoes at bay, but it can also get annoying when you really want to get out on the water.

Yesterday started out cool but by the time we got for our walk over at Harrison Bay, the sun had come out and it was just too warm.

Today it did stay cooler so we managed a walk along the dike....

the Spotted Knapweed is coming into full flower....

Thanks to the wind, and partly the time of year, there just weren't many birds visible...

I had aimed my camera at this clump of Himalayan Blackberries because there was a family of Common Yellowthroat in there and I hoped I'd catch one, but no such luck!  It does show that the blackberries are starting to get ripe.  Have noticed some Bear scat on the dike, as the blackberries ripen, no doubt there will be more.

Yesterday when we were attempting our walk...

this young Red-tail Hawk flew into a tree and perched long enough for a few photos.

Today, we made it as far as the area with the....

Bald Eagle nest....and we were shocked to see that the young one is still in the nest!  He was hunched over, appeared to be eating something and there was an adult in the area but it just seems so late in the season for him to have not left the nest.  Seems to me in other years they are gone in June.
