There is an eagle nest on the water?s edge at Cutlass Court.

With permission of the owner you can venture out on the cabin
deck and look down on the nest situated at the top of a
partially dead fir tree. It is a very advantageous position for
photographing. Here is Esther on the deck looking down
at the nest in the top of the tree to the far left:

And this is the scene below: Ma and Pa with the two eaglets:

The parents take turns on the nest with the one away fishing for food. It is 
always feeding time.

The parent that is hunting sometimes faces obstacles - like an aggressive 
crow:
