I had walked this trail many times over the past year, watching a family of Bald Eagles raise three chicks in their massive nest. Growing faster than seemed possible, the chicks quickly fledged and the family left for the remainder of the year. Their absence was short lived, though, as they graced me with their presence on this late January walk, repeatedly flying low over the water of the Missouri river while rebuilding their nest. They had returned to this same location to start the child rearing process all over, and it felt like greeting old friends once again.
