I recorded the intruder in slow motion and played it a few times and it looked to me like a juvie. I couldn't see any white in the tail.

Is this intruder a juvie?

I wondered too, I stared at it so long I got a headache. I recorded for about 10 minutes and want to go back over it in slow motion but I have to go out for a couple of hours so off cams and will look at it later.

Parent is still in the same spot in the field (to the right of the far right tower and slightly closer to the nest).

It's a great event to get outside and enjoy nature. I find it very exciting no matter how many times I see bald eagles.

just checked around. Did not find anyone on towers or poles. Checked Neighbors' Tower & no one is home. Could not find the parent near far right tower. Going to look around some more.
