1. Second or third year...

Is what I noticed when I was watching a couple nests/return juveniles near me. They were tagged so I was able to tell who was who.

3. That's cool!

None around here are tagged (I think,) not even the osprey (who should arrive around St. Pat's Day, March 17.)

5. I think there's a program for tagging of migratory birds...

That takes place annually in a state just south of you, I can't recall which of the Carolinas it is.

4. Didn't you post a picture of an adult eagle a few days ago?

You must live near a happy hunting ground!

6. Yes, perched on tree over the river;

major river provides food for osprey, and eagles probably too.
