Eagle Family

As Ellemenope pointed out yesterday, I can't tell the male from the female bald eagle. At 5:15 Pacific time I had the streaming cam on and got to see the changing of the guard!



One eagle flew in and relieved the one that had been sitting on the nest. What a thrill.



As the evening sun was setting the wind was starting to pick up a bit and the eagle sat with its back to the wind.

Hope you are enjoying this as much as I am!

Really? They switch out!?! How nice! I thought to myself "this is one bird with a mission". It is sweet that they switch off! I can't believe I missed it!!!
