So I went back to the eagle nest when I had the time, which was late morning on a weekday. It was also the one cold, drizzly day in Miami this month. Ew. I sat on US1 for an hour before they got moving. Then there was a solid half hour of activity before I left. Amazing, amazing stuff. I can't wait to watch this nest progress!

| Awesome shot! If only it had been sunny... Here you can see some small brown dots on the upper tail. I wonder if that'll be a distinguishing characteristic between mom and dad. |

In the video you can see them arranging sticks cooperatively! Hopefully they're successful here and they keep coming back for years to come. Only eagle nest in the Atlas in Dade out of 698 in all of Florida, bringing us up to 61 species! Next stop, Shark Valley in the hopes of breeding wading birds and Red-shouldered Hawks!
