Been a while since I posted here but an update is needed.

Mr. North and DNF have been dealing with intruders around the nest prior to the first egg being laid and this might be the reason the egg was laid late and there is only one egg.
DNF has been the main defender being that there is another female in the area and that has led to the one and only egg not being incubated properly. Mr. North is going over and beyond his normal duties by incubating the egg overnight many times

This article posted to Facebook by The Raptor Resource Project on February 24th explains a lot
https://www.facebook.com/RaptorResource ... LhBBh9YnEl

We can only pray that the intruder will move on as they have not as of this post and that just maybe the egg will still hatch. The hopes of a second clutch seem very slim here and not really a good area to have a second clutch in as we have seen in the past the Eaglets are hatched at a very bad time in nature
