Bingo!! Nice spotting!! Beautiful adult sitting there so quietly!

this one looks like it has a black spot on underside of tail feathers....I can't see its ankles

Not sure if I got a quick peek at a band - but, there sure is a bit of dirt on the tail....

This is as close as we can get with the cam..

For reference - bet it's a Honeycomb .

Right foot was scratching but that branch is in the way ......ahhhhh...then the eagle tucked that right leg up
5:16 pm

so it is perched on the stub, right above the "Mom+Dad's perch close to nest"

Bev

This is as good as I got on that right leg....still don't know, but I don't think I see a band. Maybe we'll get another chance - in the nest LOL

One more

ADD: So nice to see a 'big' eagle
