I spent many hours observing, studying, and photographing a pair of bald eagles in Lyme over a four year period. Most of the time that I was observing the nest nothing happened; there were hours of boring downtime. But then my patience was rewarded by seconds or minutes of high excitement and drama.

I have put the photos I took during these four years on a series of pages which you can get to by clicking the words or the photos below. 

Year One I discovered a bald eagle nest in Lyme that the NH Audubon guru did not know about.  I documented the young pair adding material to the nest preparing for future years.		Year Two The young eagles hatched a pair of chick this second year. They were well fed and grew nicely. I managed to take many photos of the parents flying in and out of the nest.
Year Three Early in the third year the nest containing an incubating eagle was covered with snow. The single chick this year was fed large fish and a small duck. By July 19 the eaglet had fledged.		Year Four November of Year Three was an action-filled time of nest enhancement. On March 6 they mated even after incubation had started. They produced a single chick again this year.
