My goodness this is one handsome fellow, eh?

This past weekend I spent a lot of time with him, his mate and his little one and they put on a great show for me. The morning started out slow with both parents across the river from the nest and the little one hunkered down.

Soon though, things began to pick up. Two fish deliveries, some nest building, the eaglet testing its wings and a couple of fabulous flybys including this one.

It is so awesome to see this pair having a successful season after last year’s failure. It will be another six weeks or so before the young one fledges so I am expecting to get in a lot more time with them documenting the family.

Have a fantastic Freedom Friday and weekend!
