Hull Island Eagle's Nest

[pjard]

We found a very cool eagle nest on the east side of Hull Island yesterday. It's really shallow and rocky but a very cool site to see.

Way cool!!! Do you think it can be seen by kayak?? Thanks for the tip.

Yes, without a doubt.

Those are the former Blueberry Island eagles who up graded last year to get away from the rafters at Blueberry.

Just a thought. When you are out and about on the lake, and have a chance to observe wildlife, please give them space.

If it's eagles, observe then from a distance. Don't stress them, especially if they are sitting on a nest or raising a hatchling. If the same thing happens again at Hull Island, they'll move again, and this time, you may not be able to see them.

Ditto for loons. We're would anchor about 125-150 yds from a floating loon nest. While floating next to the boat, the loons would swim over by us, 30 ft or so. We'd just sit there and let them do their thing.

Social distancing, on steroids! :rolleye2:

Excellent thought, Up. The area beside our house was a loon nursery when the babies were first born and I can't tell you how people made them feel trapped by trying to get close thereby driving them out of their safe place. Unfortunately we don't have those loons any more.
