3-1-2018 A 'Married' Couple

Be sure to view in Original Size

The female is on the right having just landed - definitely the dominant bird and quite a bit larger than the male.
She does 'rule the roost' !
This pair has been visiting us now for about 5 years.
We are hoping they have eaglets again this year.

Superbly timed and imaged...

Thanks very much Hal and Sally. Sally, yes
it will be a few months, but if they are successful,
we hope to be able to see them.
Hal, the male does pretty much as he is told to do by the female 🤓

Wonderful photo, Terry.
Assuming that the male is bigger and bossy,
l thought the pleading bird on the left was the lady.
Clearly l have much to learn about Eagle dominance.
A photo that teaches as well as being excellent artistically
is really outstanding.

A wonderful shot of this pair. She sure is giving him a hard time,
Cant wait for you to post some more pics when they are nesting
