NEST ACTIVITY CONCLUDED


5:35 still swaying in the wind side by side


6.37 still there in the same places, watching their pasture.

H hops over the branches heading to the nest


6:44 both to the nest

H went to the porch, M stayed and spread moss a bit then lay in the nest. Joined H out on the porch at 6.52

6.54 bonding

M to outer attic branch, H still on porch

7.04 H to the nest then up to the attic and out by M

She shows some dominance (unless I have them mixed up but don't think so).

IR's kicked in a little earlier this evening as they remain side by side out on the attic branch all seems peaceful.
Goodnight everyone!

M15 Adds Another Tree When Tandem Stick Gathering 10-30-16

Harriet and M15 flew out for sticks together and M chose another "small tree" as his addition. He was determined to get the stick back, knew the right way to do it and although his tail was no help due to the stick largeness, his strong wings got him home. M also abandoned a stick when he got too close to the utility lines. Every visual of Harriet and M15 the three hours that I was there showed their contentment and commitment to each other. They are teaching us so much about the way of the eagle.

M15"s newest "small tree"


M15 lets go of the stick to clear the lines
