It looks like our resident eagle pair have been successful so far this year, they’ve been diligently sitting on the nest!
This incredible shot was taken by our neighbor, Rick Thayer, this morning. Thank you for sharing!

A friendly reminder that the farm and fields are private property and that these eagles require peace and solitude while raising their brood. Our porch and picnic tables provide a beautiful view of our protected farmland, and you may be lucky enough to get a flyover! 🦅

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.
