Not much time for me at Honey Bee but the Eagles were busy. Guess New Year's Eve is just another day!
Tails!

End of the day perch
This is a record of my observations of Bald Eagles on the North Landing River at Honey Bee Golf Course in Virginia Beach, VA. This blog is about a new Bald Eagle pair who gained control of the nest of banded Bald Eagle "HK" following his death on September 9, 2017.

December 1. Canada Goose for lunch
I spotted this Bald Eagle in a tree as I was about to leave the Honey Bee area.
I soon realized why it was there; a dead Canada Goose lay close to the road. As I watched the eagle, it suddenly went down to feed on the goose. The proximity of the goose and eagle to the busy road made me very nervous.
I spent about 45 minutes watching the eagle feed, back off, fly a tad, feed again, etc. I realized it was a special opportunity. I also had been hoping for some shots with Fall colors and eventually this Eagle moved into a great position for that.
The Eagle left for good at that point. I walked across the street and moved what remained of the dead goose further onto the golf course property.
