WOW what a morning is all I can say!!!!

The morning starts off like usual. Nice and quiet , Ozzie and Harriet in the cam 2 tree. Donna arrives Harriet does some vocalizing then off to the nest she goes and Ozzie stayed in the cam 2 tree. Then all of a sudden we hear a crash , booom!!!!  We jump up turn around and a car had hit the garbage truck and is  the medium just before the Church (east side) OMG! Smoke coming out the the front of the car , shit every where and thank God the traffic had stopped . The guys from the garbage truck go over to check on the driver and Donna is calling 911 and walking towards the accident to see if any one is hurt. I'm telling you what ...People need to pay attention when driving. That car's front and passenger side was bad. Again Thank God there was no one in the passenger side.
This whole time  Ozzie and Harriet are not fazed by any of this.  While we weren't looking they both left. Next we see Harriet coming in from the west pasture with a squirrel. Harriet finishes her breakfast then heads down to the pond for a drink or maybe Ozzie is there because it took her awhile to come back from the pond...later we see Ozzie coming from the west pasture tree line. He must have been over there sitting and watching.. LOL
Harriet heads to the old cam 2 tree from the pond and does some preening. Ozzie heads to the nest checks to see if there is any thing left of the squirrel , then off to the pond for his drink of water. Done with getting himself a drink Ozzie joins Harriet their favorite sitting tree (old cam 2) . Both are preening and just looking around. Well don't you just know it... there is mating this morning.
I swear Harriet had a smile on her face ! LOL
With that all done, Ozzie sits next to Harriet and looks at her like "Who's Eagle !?" and Harriet just looks down at her talons as if to be saying " Oh Lord !"





Ozzie then jumps up a branch and the both look the other way as if they just realized we were standing down there watching them and might have been a bit embarrassed.

Harriet does a bit of preening ,Ozzie has his back to us and life goes on.
 Ozzie then heads off to the cellar ... that's a branch down below the nest that has a lot of pine and moss. Ozzie blends in well there . If you didn't see him go there you wouldn't find him.  This is the second time I have seen him sit there. Harriet is still in the fave tree looking around then heads over to the nest tree. After a few mins, Ozzie joins Harriet in the nest tree. So they are just hanging out and I have to do a nature call, so I drive over to Publix . As I'm coming out of the store I see one of them coming across the parking lot headed back to the nest tree. I thought now how nice was that for one of them to come and check on me.  :) I get back over to the church and Harriet is just a squawking! I look up in time to see another Eagle headed to the nest area and Donna is trying to tell me they both took off towards Publix and she was going to leave when here came Harriet then Ozzie with some food. Then a Juvie about 3-4 yrs old come's flying into the nest area and all hell brakes lose. Harriet squawking and guarding the food Ozzie carrying on and the Juvie flying over head. WOW !!!!
  The Juvie flew towards the Church then circled around and came back to the nest area then back over towards the Church and kept going. My heart is racing again just telling you about it. It was very exciting to watch and hear.    



The Juvie leaves the area and Harriet can enjoy her meal. Harriet done with her food and goes up to the upper branches and feaks her beak.. I had some things to do so I left them sitting there all nice and calm  just surveying their home.
