Azalea stayed around Kings Grant Lake all day Valentine’s Day until evening when she flew to the north end of Little Neck and spent the night overlooking the Lynnhaven River. At 8:00am Feb 15 she left Little Neck and flew to the Lafayette River in Norfolk in the Lakewood, Roland Park, Cromwell Farm area between Granby St and Tidewater Dr. She stayed there overnight. The morning of Feb 16 she flew north across Hampton Roards harbor to Big Bethel Reservoir for a few hours. About 6:00pm she flew to a patch of woods on the west side of Poquoson, VA at the intersection of Wythe Creek Rd (Rt 172) and Little Florida Rd (Rt 171) where she rested overnight. She spent all day Feb 17 there and is still there as of midnight last night Feb 18 (white data point).

When do eagles start looking for a mate? Do you think these two will mate with some-eagle someday? How far will they go looking for a mate? Are Azalea & Camellia males or females?
Response – Azalea is a female. Camellia is a male. Will likely begin to search for a mate at age 4 or 5. They wander widely as this satellite data shows. Could find a mate close to home or at another location they have explored.
OK, Joe Foreman’s turn to look!!! But apparently he’s not doing a very good job as Camellia was right under his nose! LOL! Outsmarted once again!
WOW! If I didn’t know better, I’d say Reese has the remote control gadget for Azalea and Camellia and keeps putting them in places where photographers SHOULD see them. Someone will get another pic soon.
