I've been watching and photographing this pair of Eagles since last November when they started building their new Nest. Since I visit the site almost daily the Female started Egg Incubation around 15 March and with 35 days to Hatch around April 21 - 22 right on schedule. They have two Eaglets in the Nest and I'm looking towards more photo opportunities until Fledging around 6 - 8 weeks.
The Nest is about 45 yards away and the images have been cropped. Nikon D850 / 500mm PF

In U.S. dollars, that branch is about $100.00 worth of lumber. LOL!

Very nice photos. Recently I photographed a nest that's at least eight feet deep -- the nest has been in place since at least 2002.

Thanks Woody! This nest isn’t very deep though they continue to add branches daily.
