A few weeks ago, we celebrated Father’s Day here in the US. Our daughter Faith took me to breakfast and then we walked a portion of the Windsor Locks Canal. Round trip, it looks like we covered 5 mi (8 km). On the way up and back, we passed an eagle nest. It’s the only one on the canal that we know about, and it routinely keeps the lower half of the canal – the half we like to walk – closed until the eaglets fledge. This year, there were no eaglets, so the trail opened in April – it’s always closed from November until April to give the eagles some space.
We have seen the adult eagles before, sometimes one, occasionally two. This time, we saw three (what appear to be) adult eagles. According to my extremely limited investigation, three eagles sharing a nest is rare, especially if two are male. Sorry, I don’t know how to tell if an eagle is male or female, but males are supposed to be territorial.
Faith and I joked about a couple alternate explanations. We considered a Father’s Day visit from one of the permanent couple’s previous broods. And:
“Hi mom, dad, I’ve hit a rough patch and I was wondering if I could move back in for a while?”

All five of my current books are now available in audio book form thanks to Amazon KDP’s Virtual Voice process. The voice is AI generated, but I can honestly say, it’s pretty darn good. The audio books are reasonably priced (all below $7 US) and, if you already own the Kindle version and want to add an audio version, you can do that for $1.99. There is a five-minute sample on the book page for each book. If you’re interested, click on any of the Dreamer’s Alliance book links below the image or on the link below for my latest book.
