Some Hazards Of Nest Building~Eagle Fast Food~Horses~Hang Time 10-09-16

Harriet and M15 added 13sticks/1 bunch of grasses even though there were "hazards" encountered while doing this. Harriet went after roadkill which I promptly removed, M grabbed a stick where the horses wished to graze and Harriet showed us her finesse in hanging to get several branches. Harriet worked on the crib rails almost constantly, arranging and re-arranging. The nest grows each day.

Harriet flying at, grabbing and hanging briefly to get the branch to break


M15 flies a short distance away from the approaching horse

NEST ACTIVITY CONTINUED


3.21 Eagle at the pond, zoom in and takes off lol

car parked at pond on driveway, maybe that scared them off

People standing outside of the car ugh.

Happens everytime. That is why the eagles are retreating to the church tree instead of the pond snag trees after baths... My motto: stand in place if you are at the pond when they fly in. If you are not already at the pond when they fly in, StaY AwaY !!

It makes me sad that they are not comfortable and leave. Wish people would just understand that.

Some do not know better unless educated on nesting etiquette. Others are there for the almighty best photo. And we do the Eagles no favors by posting that almighty best photo. The photographers try to one up each other constantly. Okay, I'm finished ranting.

3.23 found on the big tree behind the church

Holding wings out preening, pretty sure a bath was had or attempted.

Looks like Harriet, tail dark on her right side.
