Nest is actually in Winter Park, just outside Orlando...

These photo's where taken at sunset the Wednesday night before the big storm that blew the nest down and killed my little Raptor friends. Today I went by and saw the Adults in a near by tree with fish in there talons, but no Eaglets to feed. Hopefully they wiil quickly rebuild the nest and possibly have another batch in a couple of months,,,,we will see.

Went to my favorite nest in orlando...all is well there...thank God!!!
