There has been 4 different females seen around the nest area this season so needless to say no eggs and there probably won't be. The male is just doing his thing as the females sort things out.....he has no choice in the matter and I don't think he really cares.

1. Male

2. Female #3 (we've numbered them in the order they appeared with the male)

3. Male and female #3

7. Male

8. Eagle from a different nest. It's left wing tip was replaced using it's right wing due to clipping.

Not quite sure how or why I'm first to comment (must be east coast time)...but these are really, really quite good. I think your b&w conversion is excellent...and you have a whole bunch of excellent poses and looks throughout...well done Duane!

Very nice set of BE Duane! I really the B&W version of this set. Very nice mood for this morning.

How can you tell whether the eagle is male or female from their appearance? I rarely get to see BEs in real life so I don't know, thanks.

Another very nice set Duane. Too many good ones to pick. Is female #3 smallish, or is the male large. I thought the females were normally larger than the males ~ Ron

Beautiful shots. I think I might have darkened #1 a bit and tweaked the contrast but that's only my personal taste.

Thanks Eric....slow season compared to years past so I've been concentrating on the different looks/poses they offer up.

It's hard to tell when they're alone. Females are larger than the males is the best way to tell..or when they mate. Seriously...I really can't tell you the best way other than being able to observe a nesting pair and go from there.

Thanks Ron. She's a big girl...maybe it's just the angle I shot that one at. And yes, the females are larger and this male is on the small side compared to his mates.

I have 2 versions of this B/W...the second one is darker becasue someone on another forum suggested what you said. I still prefer the lighter version and you are correct...each person is different.

Thanks again everyone for the comments.

Khai, I asked the same question to an Ornithologist. Sexing the bird during banding and finding a special marking is usually the easiest. When spotting the pair together the female is bigger. When spotting individually it's tough to tell. Some say the length of the ridge at the top of the beak is great for telling sex. The ridge on the female's beak is longer before it curves downward.
