Dad flew onto the nest. Immediately followed by #4. She landed on the near branch


Stayed there very briefly and then down to the nest. Dad poked about in the grasses in the nest bowl and 4 stood at the nest rim just surveying the area. Finally Dad joined her in the survey


They stood like that for 15 - 20 minutes. Then Dad switched to the front and 4 moved towards the back


Stayed there a minute longer - Dad flew off - then 4 - leaving an empty nest.

There was one thing I noted during that 20 minute visit. Probably doesn't mean anything, but #4 ruffled her shoulder and chest feathers out - would hold that position for a minute or two. Relax and then do it again. Dad never ruffled his feathers so I know it wasn't the wind.

7:25pm

Both home on the love branch for 6 or 7 minutes



Both flew off at 7:27pm

Good morning.

6:56-6:57 Dad working on the nest.

9:19 and 9:22 #4 in the nest and no Dad! Could this be a sign?

Good morning, everyone! Lots of who's in the nest questions and to be honest, I'm not really sure. Beak looks female, but I do not see her black feathers and the neckline has me a bit confused so for now - an eagle is in the nest. lol


9:44 The eagle, whoever it is, is still there.

9:44 zoomed in! It is #4! With a feather on her beak. lol


9:48

#4 lying in the nest looking around.

We must give the moderators a huge gold star for patience - everyone wants an egg for Dad. No matter what it's lovely to see her lying there in beautiful close ups.
