feb8- Abby spent all night at nest, mostly sleeping gin nest bowl. early morning she flew to #2 snag and then flew off. an eagle came back for a minute t nest an d left. yesterday she brought a lot of branches and hay. this nest i s ready, but I would hate to see eggs without a male. Should be able to tell today if we have one.
saw one briefly yesterday when she brought in fish

so far behind here.

yesterday it was th e invasion by th e vultures. The male chased them out and then they decided to come back, then Abby chased them. she appeared confused when she came back to a messed nest each time

Abby eventually won the game

I will save some space if this is o.k. as my picture site is not loading at moment

last evening feb10- the current male came in 3 times calling but no Abby


feb11
this morning, our current male was in and then later the young adult. NO show for Abby
who they call fish guy. I like him
Image
Image

young adult in twice today
can tell form his tail
Image





this had been a real education here. We see how the drive to nest really is. And how fussy a female can be in choosing a M ate. It , at times is not pleasant ,but that is nature. I still remain optimistic

A youngster, a beautiful one spent a lot of time at nest, and then later , just after 6pm it flew to remote tree.another eagle flew in by it and then flew to right snag tree an d flew off later. the youngster flew to a high spot in net tree and spent the night. It was chased off this morning.

FEb13
We have had a pair at nest today. 11:38am One for sure was Abby, the male ha d dirty tail. could be Moss man, not sure anymore, Abby flew straight to left front branch and male went to nest. He eventually flew beside female and then out.
A flash storm, blew in, and Abby flew to a branch on right side of tree for shelter. She stayed there till about 1:17pm. same male came back after storm and left again. Abby never made a move towards nest.

will come back later with pictures

I hope I am not scaring anyone from posting here. :dunno: I wait and if no posts I come back when I can. :D

stay safe everyone :bye 1:

will start later today posting photos. yesterday started out with fish brought to nest by male and then Abby came in to finish. pretty quiet until about 2pm( will have to check times)

then nonstop in and out by 2 males .
towards end of all of this one attacked the other at nest. white leg was on at time and so was Abby , but it missed and all were o.k.

FEb15- day started off with male to nest and then later in morning, eagle at remote tree and a subadult also. they do not seem bothered by this subadult

I have given up trying to Id males , but one does have a white mark on leg. will save some spots for photo s for later if that is o.k.
