Keeping up with Banded Bald Eagle HK

I have been  keeping up with banded Bald Eagle HK just over 5 years now. A lot of tracking HK is done by driving around my Honda Pilot, known as the "bird mobile." HK, like all Eagles, has some favorite perching places and I have gotten to know where he goes over the years. One such location is a series of high tension electrical towers and a cell tower all on S. Independence Blvd. These are generally the first places I check. Here is a photo of HK in one of his favorite places, one of the towers with last season's Osprey nest.

Here is a photo of HK and longtime girlfriend Sterling in another. Sterling on top. I usually get out of the bird mobile to take these photos.

When the Eagles take off, it's back into the bird mobile to try to find them again.
On this day, HK visited his nest on Honey Bee Golf Course for lunch and to move sticks around. I usually stay in the SUV or just beside it to take these pictures, so as not to spook him. I use the SUV as a type of blind.

When he takes off, the searching starts once again. Sometimes I put 15 miles on the vehicle looking.
HK also likes the area by the clubhouse. It's an area also seen from S. Independence Blvd.

Not all days are productive. Some days no Eagles are seen. But the area has an abundance of wildlife, so there is usually something interesting to see!
