Belle Isle

Like royalty on its throne, this Bald Eagle towered over its loyal subjects, the photographers who trudged through the snow and arctic temperatures to snap a shot in adoration of the noble bird.
*****
There were a pair of Bald Eagles atop a very tall, leafless tree at Belle Isle, a park in the Detroit River. Seeing them was a perfect ending to the outing, on a rare, sunny and cloudless day!

...from Went Hill, Sussex, England. Appropriately enough belle toute means "Everything Beautiful" in French. However the lighthouse name is actually thought to have originated from the Saxon words 'Bel', which is the name of an early pagan deity and 'Toot' for 'Lookout' The lighthouse was moved to it's current position in 1999 to stop it falling into the sea due to coastal erosion. Which is good as this image would not quite be the same...

When I arrived at Sneydes Rd yesterday neither Belle nor Bronson were around, despite there being a partly built new nest. As I turned to leave I heard the familiar call and turned to see Belle arriving.
Happy Wing Wednesday!

David J www.flickr.com/photos/birdsaspoetry had recently tipped me off that Belle and Bronson had a nest on the go, at the other end of the disused section of Sneydes Rd. That was the main reason for my wander today. At first I couldn't locate them but heard the squawk of a juvenile so waited a while. Bronson had been out hunting and brought back a mouse for Belle. She then went to a tree near the nest site to dine. You can see she is holding the mouse here.

Both Belle and Bronson were around Sneydes Rd. today. I also heard one call of a juvenile but didn't see it.
