Hi Donegal
I'm sending CHRISTINA MURPHY'S personal photos of the Norfolk Botanical Garden eaglet who was fitted with a tracking device.

"With transmitter attached"

On 5-20-09, a solar-powered transmitter was attached to one of the eaglets, the second-born of the three (around 55 days old), whose name for tracking purposes will be Azalea.

"Azalea in all her glory"

The tracking project will continue for three years. Christina Murphy, a member of the Norfolk Forum, has given permission to share her photos of the event--she was there! She also made a short video:

This is Azalea's closeup and a gorgeous bird she is indeed. She als0 seems to have the sweetest eyes.
