A Royal pair

    Wednesday this pair of adult bald eagles were sitting across the river from my house.

It was a bit of a reach for the camera but still good enough to see which is the female 

and the male. Male (smaller body size and beak size) in front and the female in back .

I’m guessing it’s the Ferry Bluff pair taking in the warmth of the afternoon sun.

     This is year fourteen (first sighting fall of 2003). 

     If eagle facts are correct that they live to about fifteen years and become adults 

at five year. That adds up to nineteen years of age so there probably has been some  

changes in this pair.

   It will be a few weeks before nesting will start in this area but in the mean time check out this site.
   This is an unusual nesting dynamic. Be sure to go all the way to the bottom and watch the slide show.
