Eagle Update

On my February 8, 2009 post, I included a picture of the eagle's nest in our neighborhood. The nest resident is a bald eagle and she is absolutely majestic. Here are some high-quality shots and you can zoom in by clicking on the picture.

Mom perched on a limb above the nest making sure the osprey was gone for good.
