Ever wondered what eagles do with their time?
Wonder no more. This pair is taking care of a new eaglet.
HANCOCK COUNTY — An eagle chick has hatched in a nest in coastal Hancock County, despite indications earlier this week that the nest had failed.Guy studies birds and his name is Wing. Seems appropriate.Scientists at the BioDiversity Research Institute in Gorham confirmed Thursday morning that there is a chick in the nest located at an undisclosed site in Hancock County that is monitored with a webcam.
"This is so exciting," Wing Goodale, a research biologist at the institute and the eagle cam project director, said Thursday. "It’s absolutely wonderful."
Never knew watching a bird in a nest could be so compelling.

Back when I was in 1st and 2nd grade we lived on High St. in Brewer which overlooked the Penobscot. I remember seeing bald eagles over the river then, glad to know they're still around.
