Been doing a lot lately that I'll post about later, but for now here's a picture of our Bald Eagle nest from the air.

DM: If you’re looking for the definitive word on where every species of bird breeds in the United States, look no further than each state’s Breeding Bird Atlas, an entirely volunteer-based survey hosted by the U.S. Geologic Survey. Florida first conducted its Breeding Bird Atlas from 1986 to 1991. Back then, 120 species of birds were confirmed breeding in Miami-Dade county. Now, Florida is conducting its second Atlas and so far only 33 species have been confirmed breeding in Miami-Dade. This blog will document my explorations all over this big, beautiful county as I try to flesh out those numbers. If you know nothing about birds or Miami's ecology, feel free to ask questions! If you know a lot about either, please share your knowledge in the comments! Explore the Atlas at: http://www.pwrc.usgs.gov/bba/index.cfm?fa=explore.ProjectHome&BBA_ID=FL2011
