7-11-04~ My first trip. She was so still that I almost didn't notice her except for her red head and even then I thought she was dead because she never moved a muscle. I saw her eye blink so I knew she was alive.

The big picture~ standing up on the trail, looking down. It was hard to spot her but the red head gave her away.

7-18-04 ~ Trip #2. I had 2 other people with me this time and not long after we got there she was up off of the nest.

She was very agitated with us and seemed to want to challenge us. Her mate flew in from behind us but we didn't see him after that. She stood up and we were able to see 2 eggs. At this point she was quite upset with us, so after a few quick shots we left.

Trip 3 ~ This time I found her very still, very quiet. Like the first time it seemed like she was dead, and then she picked her head up and blinked her eye.

Trip 4, the last trip ~ This is what I found, one lone egg. It was sort of sad, because I didn't know if the other egg hatched or not, or what had become of her. She was no where in the area.
