March 14, 2014 - Burlington - Lift Bridge

Sue McCreadie Reports:

Bill arrived at the Lift Bridge to find Cirrus on the edge of the nest box and Mackenzie on the vent, lake side, at the top of the Hamilton Bridge Tower. Cirrus is not straying very far from the nest box these days. In fact, she is spending quite a bit of time inside the box. During the time Bill was there, they mated twice.

Mackenzie started to alarm call and Bill thought he was going to go back over to Cirrus. However, it turned out that he was REALLY upset because of a juvenile Bald Eagle that was getting too close. The chase was on and the last Bill saw of Mackenzie was him chasing the Eagle out of the territory.
