A sunny warm day, mind you this is New England, we watched from Stebbins Road as the eagle pair copulated. This union lasted the longest I've ever witnessed. She had her head down as he did his business. I wondered how he kept his position. Not that I'm in a need-to-know place. They are no doubt a couple. She looks very regal and stately. Pregnancy becomes her. but where, oh where, will she drop her eggs? There is no nest that I can see. The "Miksis" nest is a year old with no added twigs or branches. We are attentive observers.
