The Virginia Beach Eagle Alive and Well

Shelly Fowler, among the best of the local eagle photographers, was out searching recently for Azalea, the young eagle, born at Norfolk Botanical Garden and equipped with a satellite transmitter.

Fowler, who lives in Virginia Beach, got tired of looking around this area and decided to drive the Jamestown Parkway to see what she could find.“
