Morning Eaglet....and I was hoping for some peace here....Thanks for all the observations and snaps.

Took time to read through the chat and Reese says that this intruder is not #2. Will be watching and doing other nests too.

Good Morning Everyone! Hoping for a calmer day here at the nest.

Shoebutton:
Report from ground observers/local photographers -

Another altercation between the male and the rogue eagle....we understand that the male locked talons and is now at the 2004 nest tree preening..

Here is video of dad being attacked approx 1: am this morning. Ran first in regular mode and then in slow motion as it was so dark. Is is keeping me on edge!

Dad fends off another attack while out on the love branch

Thanks Darlene!

I just wish the intruder(s) would give up!

10:05 am

Just viewed the copyrighted photos of DT's fight - outstanding. They are a must look at.
Darlene, I am glad Dad fought off the intruder(s) yet again. They need some peace to lay their eggs.
This has been an incredible journey so far.
