This bird was foraging for food to bring back to the nest. Her beak looked to be full.
I stayed back in the trees so as to not bother her, and I didn’t. She had caught a few things and it was just time to go. My position gave me enough open view to catch the slow lazy take off.

Great post 😁
Thanks, always interesting out there.
You were so patient waiting for her to take off and your patience was rewarded with fantastic series of photographs. Wonderful, so wonderful!!!
Thanks so much. Several have been feeding here, it’s a quick flight to their nests.
I’m always blown away by how huge and majestic they are in flight like this! Great sequence, Ted.
Me too. Thanks.
