Description

Ran into Archie yesterday as I cruised through the cemetery where the nest used to be here in Orlando. He looked very healthy and was just hanging out,maybe waiting for Edith?.He did scout around a few trees and then just settled in his favorite one for the evening. We`ll see what happens here,I`d love for them to build a new nest and maybe more photo ops for us all!. Captured at F/8,1/2000,Iso800,400mm.

Exif: F Number: 8, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 5/10000 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 800, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 400.00 mm, Model: NIKON D90

The Eagle King (and his fabulous photographer!) is back!! So good to see Archie again! He's looking as magnificent and regal as ever, Hal! I'm wondering - do eagles mate for life? Hope so, would sure love to see Edith and he "apartment hunting" soon!! :) Wonderful capture, Hal - so good to have both of you back!! #8887100

So nice to see Archie again Hal. Really hope that Edith joins him soon. I would love to see them nest and raise another family again. BPrs from around the world enjoyed their daily fix of the eagle version of All in the family! #8887113
