I haven't looked in here for awhile, and was shocked to see how they've grown :shock:

From Reese Lukei blog: Biologists from The Center for Conservation Biology will fit a satellite transmitter on one of the eaglets on May 5, 2010 at 10:00am.

Nice ones Pat! :grin:

I got a few 'close-up' shots myself the other day!

The little ones were attempting to self-feed!

Beautiful Patti and Pat!! They are getting so big...too soon. They are already flappercizing.

Wind is wreaking havoc on the cams here today. Looks like this one is down now.

On a recent trip we found ourselves within a few hours driving distance of Norfolk and on the spur of the moment decided to go to the Gardens. What a beautiful spot! There are several photographers with huge cameras that hang out on a regular basis photographing the eagles. Speaking with them, we learned a few of Mom & Dad's habits.

For instance, when we arrived around 11:30 a.m. on April 25th, the kids were sleeping and Dad was hanging out in one of his favorite spots. Left arrow points to the nest, and right arrow points to Dad.

We saw Mom fly in for a feeding around noon but I was not quick enough to capture it. After walking around the gardens for about 3 hours we returned to find Dad perched in front of nest and a couple of heads popping up

Susan, that's great that you were able to stop by for a visit!! Its the perfect time of the year to go with the azeleas blooming. Just spectacular! The paparazzi seem to always be there now...most of them have other jobs, but they are always at the gardens. Nice shots of the eagles too!

Oh Susan!! How wonderful you stopped there and saw the 'family'!!! :grin:

Let's see ... I bet there was Duane, Jim, Shelly, Pete ... a few others I'm sure!! That's terrific ... I'm jealous! :)

I made a SS ... first 6 are from last Friday! The rest are from today ... was having trouble getting the cam for a few days.

There's 22 pics.
