For the last few days there have been 3 juvenile eagles flying above the nest.. Dad keeps chasing them.. he just comes out of seemingly nowhere.. I caught one flying over the nest and Mom and one of the chicks yelling... dad appeared right after All three chicks are thriving and BIG!
In our city park, close to Niagara Falls we have a Tesla Coil.
Tesla coil is an electrical resonant transformer circuit designed by inventor Nikola Tesla in 1891. It is used to produce high-voltage, low-current, high frequency alternating-current electricity.
. Their activities have been pretty slow this year but it's picking up. 
Juvenile was wayyyyy too close to the nest for his own good!
