My wife and I kayaked the creek where the Bald Eagle nest is off of the Carmans River and did not see them - nor was there any activity at the nest. I believe the consensus is they did not nest this year but have built a nest (similar to Ospreys - it's likely they will nest next year). We also checked out the mouth of the River to see if any Eagles were hanging around there but came up empty. I did however photograph a Loon in the mouth - but I'll need to go through the photos to discern what species. Also, there was what appeared to be a scoter in the mouth as well (certainly a diving waterfowl species) but it was too far away to get any photos of. I'll post later when I've confirmed what species of Loon it was.
