That gal gets around.
And a beautiful pix of a beautiful gal..Az you’re logging lot’s of flyer miles..Thank you for the up date..
What a beautiful young eagle she has become…
She is such a beautiful young eagle. I have worried over her since she fledged.
Mom would be sooo proud! Thanks for the beautiful picture Bob!
AZ seems to be living a good life, we certainly know she is eating a varied diet!.
Thanks Reese, it’s so exciting to be able to follow her. I look forward to each Map Day.
Reese – given that brother HK is setting up a nest, would it be possible that Azalea would look for a mate this year? Or, given that sexual maturity isn’t reached until 5, will she probably not be interested until this next fall?
Response – At this point of the breeding season it appears that Azalea still has wanderlust and not ready to settle down.
