Norfolk Botanical Garden Eagles

Hadn't been out to the Garden in a while and finally was able to make it. Light was a little harsh as I didn't get there until late in the morning. (I just can't get the sun to wait for me). After about a 20 minute wait the male finally made his way to the nest through the back entrance. Could only see the top of his head from my vantage point. He stayed quite a while and then sat out on a limb looking like he was waitin' on his woman. She never showed so he took off (through the back door). Came back a little later and sat in the nest again for a while. Still no woman. Finally he flew over to the old nest tree and sat there for a while before leaving out the "front door" Missed this exit as I was trying to change teleconvertors. So I ended up with a few shots of him in the tree.

Lookin'.



Pacin' the floor, I mean, limb.



Wondering.



Guess I'll have to go find her.

Here's the photo that didn't make it through on the initial post. Probably operator error.

Fantastic....such incredibly clear details!

Thanks, Tim!! Love his expressions and your captions - poor Dad spends an awful lot of time "waitin' on a woman" (great song, too).......

Beautiful!
