Azalea in York County Oct 22

Azalea hung around the Lafayette River until about noon yesterday Oct 21. That was just long enough for Mike Inman to capture photos of Azalea which are posted here with his permission and copyrighted by him (Thanks Mike). The first photo is Azalea sitting in the nest of the Algonquin eagles (GREEN pointer). The second photo on a snag near the nest tree, and the third on a channel marker on the Lafayette River. Here are her data points – YELLOW arrow Oct 19 at 9:00am, PINK pointer Oct 20 at 1:00am, GREEN pointer Oct 21 at 7:00am, BLUE pointer Oct 21 at 2:00pm, and WHITE arrow Oct 22 at 1:00am in Colonial National Historic Park in York County, VA.

It’s so good to see her in the neighborhood. Thanks Reese and Mike! So good to know where she is. Azalea and Camellia are such success stories (so far). She is really lookin good.

Wow! Look who’s a big girl now! The comparison between Duane’s pic of her as a fledgling on this EagleTrak page header and the middle pic of her this past weekend is so neat to see.

I know she’s not old enough to nest, but it’s somehow very nice to see her in one after what has happened in her home garden.

That is one beautiful eagle..like her mom..All the boy’s are going to be fighting over her… Reese does she look nice and healthy to you.? She does to me.. Can you estimate how large she is? A Big girl or average for a female ?

response – Looks healthy to me. As to her size – normal for a girl.

What a great surprise to have the pictures of Az–she certainly is one beauty. She appears to have as much white as Buddy. Thank you both for making the pictures available to us. It’s nice to know where some of the kids are. Hope the transmitter keeps going, going and going!

She looks so grownup! The pictures are wonderful. Thanks Mike and Reese. Hard to believe she is almost a mature eagle now. She has grown up too fast. I hope the transmitter never dies.
