Two trips across the bridge today, and rather quiet in way of eagle sightings. On my first westbound tripEthel was perched on the favored light standard just west of the west high rise.....the light standard upon which she and Eddie held court most often over the last several years. The light standard upon which she patiently awaited his return last August.....in what came to be a sweetly sad, futile effort. She was in the exact same spot later this afternoon, again on my westbound commute. No sightings on either return. I plan to do some research on the nesting habits of bald eagles.....wondering when this pair will begin the process of welcoming new eaglets. All of us who take joy in our resident pair feel a gratitude that Ernest was apparently willing to follow Ethel back to her home nest. What a prince.
