Here's something interesting I just found on the AEF nest cam facebook page.

AEF-NEFL DISCOVERY!!!
AEF Moderator, jc_AEF (Joleen Maiden) has one "Eagle Eye"! She noticed something familiar about the sub-adult that visited the nest today, that it had somewhat of a lumpy beak. This eagle appeared to be approximately 4 years old. Romeo and Juliet's offspring, Delilah, from 4 seasons ago also had a lumpy (signature) beak. We often commented if she ever returned, we would know it's her by her beak! After reviewing past photos and comparing with the visitor, Joleen, cynmari_AEF (Cindy Trudeau) and Gretchen came to the conclusion this visitor is very likely Delilah. Here are some comparison photos (click the pics for better view) Copyright 2017 American Eagle Foundation www.eagles.org
