Early this morning Jan 19, Azalea was perched in a dead tree in a yard on Zamani Ct at the end of Richardson Rd in Witchduck section of Virginia Beach. This is the same dead tree that Jim Deal and Marianne saw Azalea about two weeks ago. It was just beginning to get light, it was foggy and I was 200 feet from Azalea. She flew about 10 seconds after I spotted her, but I was able to get these two photos. In photo 1 the antenna is just barely visible.
