Soph I think there will be a fight when Superman returns hopefully it is all resolved peacefully without either one getting hurt.

608 pm
Wray just dropped in and then flew out
of the nest.....was too quick for a scap
K51 and Wray were calling back and forth
to each other.
Not sure why Wray left so quickly.....hmmm perhaps
she is annoyed he is still in her nest .

K51 is picking at some leftovers in the nest now.

I think he does in his business in the nest too to mark his territory ....maybe he can smell Superman K01 scent and is trying to over power it!!

I do wonder, Debs. Conventional wisdom is that eagles can't smell (think roadkill skunk....) - but there may be something outside of the normal range of smell - or some other sense - that does let them know that another eagle has marked the nest that way.

Or maybe he's trying to level off that uneven rock!

Hi Judyb I had forgotten about the lack of smell it sure does make us wonder why K51 goes to the bathroom in the nest....since this is not common practise for the adults I guess we will never know for sure .

Pat Cumbrian did a video of K51 leaving the nest earlier today....and coming back promptly with a meal ....I must have missed his departure and return while painting based on my observations today this occurred while there were fly bys over the nest as well so this must have been sometime around 1 pm or so. The video is awesome...it looks like a meal fish

Here is the link to Pat's video Pat it is a totally awesome and nice to see that K51 is a successful hunter too
