Hatchlings ahead?

 

My favorite bald eagle pair are spending more time near their nest, but not in it. Looking back at when I first started photographing them a year ago, it looks like they were tending eggs in April. So perhaps soon we'll see mama on the nest and papa guarding from the snag.

 Yesterday, we saw both land in a tree near the aerie. Then papa flew off to the delta and mama flew to the snag.

Coming soon, segments from my book, tentatively titled "Learning the Eagle Way, a raptor's rhapsody."

In the meantime, take a look at my Talons Gallery.
