How exciting! As of ‘yesterday’ KE was just across the River from me but on the 31st she was flying over my haunts literally a couple of miles north of where I was perched at the Fort Hunt eagles nest. Hope she hangs around a few days so I have a chance to see her! (But juggling work week.) It is so cool to see that she visited my entire world – shopping, work, home and recreation!
Reese, Thanks!
Response – Figured KE was pretty close to you!!
Boy this Eagle likes to travel.hope you spot her MagIn Alex and get a pix Looks like a beautiful place she picked to hang out..
Great that KE is up here in our area! Actually, the location where KE was at the northern most point in PG County is not that far from me , so I am going to be on the lookout for sure! I too always look at the Ft. Hunt Ealges nest when I am in the area.
Woo hoo Shiloh! Maybe I’ll bump into you on Sat! I’ll try to get to those public parks along Henson Creek early.
