I observed a subtle change of behavior at the nest late this afternoon. I
was never able to observe the female but the male was quite active and
when he flew in, he landed and perched precariously on the side of the
nest. After several minutes of peering into the nest, he flew to a tree
overlooking the street, where he attracted a lot of human attention,
even stopping traffic. He left after a few minutes, and I was able to
relocate him on the North Landing River. So, it is possible that egg
laying/incubation has begun. Sorry, I can't be more definitive as I prefer that Reese Lukei makes that
pronouncement.
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.

January 10. Togetherness.
Checking on the Honey Beeagles 1.10.19. I had been at the nest for about
an hour today when this eagle flew in with a fish. It took about 20
minutes to eat it, then it left. I was able to relocate it on another
part of the golf course, which was closed today due to the weather.
Within a couple of minutes, the second eagle flew in and they had some
"together time." Then they played a game of "follow me," for about 30
minutes, and I called it a day.
