E23 does a little soaring--I think brought on by a shrike attack! Then E comes home for a fish meal--- a no eyed one!


E23 was getting pretty annoyed by the shrike

E23 leaves the attic and the shrike follows

From Lady Hawk --- April 25, 2024

E23 is on the attic and the shrikes are relentless in dive bombing! E23 had enough and flies off (shrike follows!). E23 flies across the street and up high over the pasture until out of view. Later, M15 brings a live eyeless fish to the nest! M15 waits for E23 to come and he gets dive bombed over & over by shrikes. He is starting to get really irritated and at times and finally just leaves the fish and heads to the pond and then to the office oak.

E23 flies in to the nest squeeing and sees the fish and begins to eat it. E23 takes its time over the next 44 minutes (I shortened the footage of E eating) until the fish is consumed. Great job E23 eating the entire fish! Then E flies off towards the pond. Thank you for watching!


E23 spends quite a bit of time soaring---practice??
