Re: Florida Eagle Country BE cam-2020/21
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
young adult in twice today
can tell form his tail
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.
edit to ad d photos
male
beautiful young one
and thi s visitor
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. I wait and if no posts I come back when I can.
stay safe everyone
