HK 3.28.16.

HK was dining in his nest when I arrived.

He left a couple of times but went just across the fairway and back to the nest area.

 He chased away an Osprey that came too close then landed on his new fav tree. A big THANK YOU to Larry who allowed me to shoot from his driveway today. No other eagles were seen.

HK Photo Op

Lucky me! HK flew in just as soon as I drove up this afternoon! And he stayed around for two hours! He chased away an Osprey, ate a little something in the nest, moved some sticks around.

 He delivered some soft stuff, quite dramatically!

Then, he flew around the block, coming to land behind me, much to the delight of some neighborhood children!

Happy Hatch Day, HK! #7!

Handsome HK is 7 years old today, if you go by hatch date. He has the full white head and tail of a mature adult Bald Eagle.
HK continues to bring in nest material and chase off Osprey.  He seems to have become quite comfortable with photographers across the street and the usual comings and goings of neighborhood residents, including children and dogs.
Here is HK squawking at an Osprey that came too close.

The rest are of HK in a tree next to the nest tree. He stayed for about an hour.

HK gets a quick visitor

I was sitting at HK's nest for a good 25 minutes, when I discovered he had been in it all along. He walked out on a branch, after finishing a meal.

And took off out the back.
About 30 minutes later, I heard eagle screaming. I barely got my camera up, when these two eagles came tumbling down in a talon lock.  Sorry for the poor quality, it happened very fast.The one on the left is HK. The one one the right was unbanded and flew right on by.

It was quiet for another 40 minutes, when I thought I heard two eagles approaching my location. I could only locate one, who was HK and perched beside me. Gotta love that.
He took off several minutes later and could not be relocated.

Sterling puts in an early day appearance 3.11.16

I got to Honey Bee early and although it took a while, I did locate Sterling and HK together on a fav cypress tree.

A sub adult eagle was close by, but that did not seem to bother the pair. Suddenly, Sterling dove for a fish!

HK immediately followed. She caught it and disappeared flying towards the nest, again followed by HK.
When I got to the nest, only HK was present in the tree.

Sterling never reappeared and HK flew briefly to a nearby tree. He did seem to be waiting.

But, HK flew, and I headed home.
