Well, well, well. I know - that is a deep subject. Just who was at the nest with Harriet this morning? I assumed it was the sub adult (SA/Slim) but the markings are not there. i am reviewing my footage now.

Here is an update from the SWFEC head moderator just an hour ago, posted on the chatroll next to the cams.

There have come some pictures already on the FB guests' column (the FB site is public, no signing in is needed for a view: https://www.facebook.com/SouthwestFlori ... am?fref=ts) - I am not really convinced that it would be M15 today with Harriet ... I would love that it were him - but ...
But at least it is an adult!

Here's a shot of Harriet this morning from the nestcam.

After reviewing stills and videos (many to the credit of Wskrsnwings and Urdognu) I am questioning now if that was M15 with Harriet. Eyes seem different to me. No matter...this nest constantly humbles me by proving me wrong. Either way, we know it was an adult.

Looking at a photo on Facebook posted today by Desiree Deliz of M15 taken 9/19 there does (to me) appear to be slight brown on very tip of his tail. Vicki and others know the birds extremely well so they are best able to identify whether it is M15 or not.

There is a post by David Eppley with 2 pics of FV. If he didn't tell us that they were taken on separate occasions, you would think they were taken right after each other. They are identical eagles to one another.

Pretty sure it is Slim with H not M15...M15 was much smaller than Slim and had a lot of dark "eyeliner" slim does not
M15 was smaller than H and Slim is about the same size as H

And, too, FV/M15 was more open to 'love making', where as Slim doesn't quite understand Harriet's moves yet. I'm excited that there is another Man in her life. Young, but should still be trainable for her. The season is underway and it won't be long for "things" to happen. We can only HOPE for the best - Harriet knows.

Well, another simply fascinating day at the nest this morning. Whoever the eagle was with Harriet this morning is stunning! Myself... I'm thinking it was M15, brown striped tail feather and all. Just an amazing sight to see. ..
