Chased away

I have to read more about mating eagles, today I visited them again and for several instances the female would chase the male away from the nest. The male had to land to a branch that is a bit far from the nest, and when the female left the nest, the male flew inside the nest.

This is the first instance that the male was chased away. He landed on this branch and the female jumped on him!

Fine captures there Jo. I love the expression in the 2nd shot, 'What you looking at eh?'

Boy, I love how close you are able to get to these guys, Jo. Nesting behaviour is fun to figure out. Wonderful shots!

Great captures there especially through all of the branches.

Nice job Jo. Great work on the focus with all those branches.

Maybe she is a little confused on how its supposed to work!

Lovely shots, the look in #2 is a bit fearsome!.

For all the tough backlighting, you are getting some fine shots, I especially like the second image... nice work Jo...

Girlpowerrrrrr... yeah!!! Sorry, couldn't resist. More good shots, Jo. It most be so terrific to be able to watch them from this close, let alone photograph them.

Thanks Mark, I think I would give that look also specially after getting "dumped" by a girl

Thanks Craig , but aren't we all? Or maybe the male have to do something romantic before jumping to bed!

Thanks Lester, I think he saw me smiling and gave me the "ef off" look

LoL, you got that right! Thanks!

All 3 very nice captures jodelak, and lucky you again for this opportunity.
It's amazing that such a big bird can fly around in the midst of all of those smaller limbs. That being said, you did a great job of keeping those out of your images. I really like the first 2 a lot; and the 2nd image just "screams" Eagle top to bottom. Very nicely done!
