All of the ducks in the marsh took off en masse as the eagle flew over. We thought the eagle might swoop down and make a pass at one of the ducks, but it just kept flying south around Pt. Edwards.

We have yet to see the female Pt. Edwards eagle sitting on the nest. Tuesday (4/2) I did catch one of the pair flying south over the marsh from the ferry dock toward Pt. Edwards.

Exceptional. There's part of something, probably a feather hanging off of it's beak. Thanks for sharing!

Easter Sunday (4/5) I saw both of the Pt. Edwards eagles perched together on the family tree at the top of Pine St., which means the female is not nest sitting.
Any closer and she is going to snatch your camera away from you.
Thursday (4/9) I lugged the 5DIII + 500L + 2x teleconverter all attached to my heavy tripod out to the fishing pier. One of the Pt. Edwards was perched at its regular spot on one of the pilings near the ferry dock. It took off and headed southeast as we were walking out to the pier. Daren got these shots of the eagle in flight with the 7D + 100-400L telephoto zoom.
Tuesday afternoon (4/14) Daren got some shots of one of the Pt. Edwards eagles after it took off from its usual perch on one of the pilings off the Senior Center.
The eagle flew south.......
then turned southeast and flew directly over us.
The eagle's crowtourage followed.

Thursday morning (4/16) a southbound freight had two of Boeing's birds trailing the engines as it passed the marsh.
Two of Mother Nature's birds trailed the freight: one of the Pt. Edwards eagles followed by an evil minion of the Dark Lord.

After bathing in Willow Creek on the south side of the marsh, the eagle perched on a telephone pole beside the tracks to dry off. It watched a southbound lumber train while being strafed by an evil minion of the Dark Lord.
Next was a coal train from Wyoming's Powder River Basin headed for the giant coal docks at Roberts Bank, BC, where the coal is transferred to large ocean liners bound for Asia.
The coal trains always have one or two radio controlled diesels pushing on the rear, which I am sure impressed the eagle.
I don't think the female is sitting on the nest, as I saw both eagles airborne in the area later that afternoon.

Saturday (4/18) was a big eagle day in Edmonds. In the morning Daren and I just missed seeing the Pt. Edwards pair chasing an osprey over the marina. The gulls followed chasing all three birds.
This gull decided to take a bite at the eagle.
After the osprey was dispatched, one of the pair chased the other off the top perch of the family piling off the Senior Center near the ferry dock.
