New Bald Eagle at Honey Bee 9.24.17

Just two weeks after HK's death, I observed this Bald Eagle at Honey Bee today. For over 4 hours, it moved from the Osprey nest tower to the Honey Bee entrance tower, to a tree and back again and again. It would disappear for several minutes, but would reappear. When it landed, it would chatter. Another eagle appeared high up at least twice, but I never saw them together. Finally, it flew towards HK’s nest, but I was unable to relocate it. It appeared to be unbanded. My impression was that it was a male, as it seemed on the small side. I was really quite AMAZED at the physical likeness it had to the late, great, HK.
