Belle Haven Marina Va Nesting Pair of Bald Eagles are at the nest

I caught a ride over to Belle Haven Marina from a good friend and promised him we would see the Bald Eagles that day. The very hour we got there I had a good feeling and as we approached the nest I saw the pair sitting up in a tree next to their nest. It was a great surprise especially when at first I thought we would have to wait mabey an hour to see them return to the nest. It was probly 3:45pm when we arrived at the nest. It was a great day.

Bald Eagle nest activity

I have started a wildlife photography project for myself this winter. I plan on capturing photos of Bald Eagles at their nest as they prepare to get ready for new young later on in the year. I hope to get photos of the eaglet chicks once they have been born into the world. I started already on January 3 2011 but had no luck capturing the Bald Eagle on the nest, but I did see the eagle for a brief moment on the nest. I'll return in a couple of weeks to see if they have setteled at the nest for the season. In the mean time I will continue to capture whatever wildlife I come across at the various parks I go too.
