Punta Gorda Eagles

A pair of bald eagles have been nesting in downtown Punta Gorda for the last few years. Their nest is right in the park next to the historical society.

That’s kind of neat because you can go down to the park and sit there for a while watching how they behave. While we were watching them the other day, one of them flew in and they both got excited and started screeching and jumping around. I know it’s not a good idea to anthropomorphize animals, but it sure looked like the female was chewing the male out for not bringing a fish home for the juvenile.

After some of that, they calmed down and sat quietly.

Then the juvenile poked its head up out of the nest.
