The Eagles at Quiet Waters Park have built a new nest from scratch in a different tree, 3 trees to the SW of the old tree from last year, I think it's a better choice a little further away from the Bike traffic. The nest is huge now, I wasn't sure if it was going to come about at first but they got busy and before I knew it there was a huge nest for their new season. I'm looking forward to a new set of chicks for this pair. We have to think of names for these two, I watch them often and have gotten to know their personalities a little, and I really have become attached to them, and I think they are very fond of each other as well, if any one has suggestions for names lets try to give them fitting names. I can tell the two apart well now, besides the fact that she's bigger, she also has darker eyes, and an inverted V shape to her head feathers just under her bill or beak, his head feathers are more jagged at the bottom and his eyes are brighter than hers. Enjoy these shots of the new nest.

Edit: Forgot to say I saw them mating on Saturday morning, but didn't get it on film, then after that they started adding sticks to the nest and sometimes disputing where that stick should go. No eggs yet! as of today.
