Waiting for the Bald Eagle
Waiting for the Bald Eagle to take off. I am an Audubon Eaglewatch Volunteer. I was watching nest MT031 In Justin Wilson Park, Palm City Florida.The nest is in a marsh behind the park. The female is now sitting on eggs at the nest( I named Hersey Kisses). The male has taken to hanging out at a light pole on the other side of the park by some soccer fields and pickleball courts. I waited almost two hours for the eagle to take off from the light pole. The wind was east west that day so I knew there was a good chance the male(I named Bosco) would fly off in my direction.When he did I was able to capture this magnifcent image.
