Birds and Nature

I spotted this Bald Eagle on a nest that has been used for several years. As I watched it for a few minutes it was doing something in the bottom of the nest--could it be already repairing the nest? It is early for this behavior. As the nest is at least 500 feet from the road I couldn't see what it was doing even with my spotting scope. I will have to check the nest again to see if I can tell what is happening. (click on each pic to enlarge to see eagle better) SeEtta

Not the best pics especially because they were so back lit but they do show the field marks for the harlani subspecies of Red-tailed Hawk. Top 2 pics show the whitish tail, blackish belly, streaked white chest and white on face surrounding the eye. SeEtta
