The “Dynamic Duo” of Beverly Nettleton and Cary Lynch hit the jackpot yesterday, Jan 21, when out searching for Azalea. Not only did they find her perching, but also eating and taking a bath in a ditch. Azalea was behind a Home Depot store on Hillcrest Parkway in Chesapeake. The attached map shows that Azalea was also there on Jan 15. Color codes for the map – ORANGE Jan 15 at noon, BLUE Jan 21 at 11:00am, WHITE Jan 21 at noon, YELLOW Jan 21 at 1:00pm, GREEN Jan 21 at 2:00pm, and PINK Jan 21 at 3:00pm.

    And what a duo they are!!! Wooo Hooo! But I really think one of them told AZ to hide by the time I got down there just so they could get all the good pics!!!

    These are such terrific pictures of Azalea by the dynamic duo. I have heard through the grapevine Beverly is also known as a “spotographer”

    This is great, you two! Your patience and perseverance have been rewarded and then some. It’s such a treat to see these pictures of Azalea going about her life. Thanks for sharing.

    Awesome news. I am going to go down there and see if I can spot her. So exciting to her she is doing well.

    Thanks.

    It was wonderful to find AZ! Our idea of fun is to spend hours looking for eagles, especially banded or transmittered ones. Yesterday we hit the jackpot!!!

    She looks good and “wings” hi to everyone!

    Good luck Joyce, bring your patience 🙂

    As always, thanks Reese.

    Bev & Cary – Awesome photos of our Diva – Azalea! She is a beauty for sure – just like her mother!!! So glad she is nearby where she can be spotted. Hope her transmitter keeps going for a long time!!!

    Bev, Cary, Reese, WOW! Thanks for the pics. The “Portrait of a Lady Bathing in a Ditch” one made me laugh out loud. 😀

    Thanks for the pics!
    Hard to believe the little bobblehead will be 4yo in March. Oh, if only we can keep track of her through next year and perhaps find where she chooses to nest…and with whom! Of course, that assumes she is either able to find a mate and establish a territory or survive fighting to get one. Remember all the ladies battling to win her Dad last spring. Scary thought – but that is life as a wild bald eagle.

    Very cool to see these pictures! It is nice to see the transmitter is still working too.
