For almost as long as I can remember, I have had an admiration for Bald Eagles.  Though they live in our area, and in fact are sometimes seen within a mile of my house, I have rarely seen one here.  Occasionally I will spot one flying over Kentucky Lake, and just a few years ago I was privileged to find an inhabited nest in the Land Between the Lakes.  About that same time I found a nest very close to my home, but was never privileged to see an eagle in it.  Just a few days ago though, my oldest son excitedly called me and told me he found an inhabited nest nearby, and this morning I was finally able to get out and see for myself.  Sure enough, an inhabited Bald Eagle's nest, and it was fairly easily accessible without disturbing the birds.  Here is the best shot of the morning:
