Jim, could you see bands on that juvie? I'm so glad you were there to capture the encounter . . . and thanks for sharing it with us. :flirty:

Susan, we have not been fortunate enough to get any photographs
of a banded juvenile as of yet. Azalea has been in the area recently
but no one has photographed her.

And the construction continues!

This is the male in the nest late this afternoon. This is
the first time I have ever watched a pair of eagles build
a new nest. It is truely a incredible experience. Dad looks
proud of the new condo.

This is Mom this afternoon. She has a small amount of nest material.

Three more gorgeous pictures, Jim. :loveheart:

It is funny that this couple loves construction. Glad there are enough trees around that attract them and enough nesting material around to build with. :lol:

I am not 100% sure if this is the female or male in the first shot.
It was taken Saturday morning. These two were not seen
a whole lot over the weekend but they were around.

This is the female around 8:30 a.m. Sunday

Those are such gorgeous pictures, Jim. Thank you. Is the new nest visible from the observation deck?

Nice video, SGB. In your picture, Beth, it looks like he/she is sitting on the limb in the foreground. It will be interesting to see if that is a regular perch, and if so, hope it doesn't obstruct our view of little ones.

Last year, first egg was laid January 31st.
