MID-SEASON: At this time of year, eagles, ravens and other birds are tending to their young, teaching them how to fly, and protecting them from potential predators. The eagle in the above photo was on a rock near the sea walk off Marine Avenue. This eagle is one of a pair that have a nest in a tree above the sea walk. Tanya Hill photo
