The morning was cool but it doesn't matter because I get to see E6 and Harriet . Harriet was vocalizing and E6 was still down in the nest. Harriet's vocals for me is the first call of the new day. Such a sweet sound to hear. Then I get to looking around to see if  PB is there. Nope not in the nest tree, maybe in the front pine tree  I thought to myself, which I wouldn't be able to tell from my side any way. Harriet leaves at 6:50 am  heads towards the river, as I turn back to my right, there's PB in the left front pine where the crows are. I kind of  smile to myself and wonder how he got to stay there with the crow's Ricky & Lucy ( yes we named then too lol ) without them chasing him off and that Harriet didn't let him stay in the nest tree last night. So I felt it was going to be a good day for a change.
PB flies to the old cam 2 tree and vocals his good mornings to the world . E6 wakes up and does a few wing stretches and off to the R- pond tree. I turn back around and PB has left headed towards the river also. Just as turn to look at E6 I catch a Juvie that just swooped at E6 while he was on the R-pond tree. Dog gonit , it starts already. From out of now where , here comes PB to the R-pond tree vocalizing after the Juvie which headed out around the church. It comes back around and PB takes off to the snag tree then off after the Juvie. Some how the Juvie lost PB and lands in the church tree and stays there for awhile. This one has some black still on it's beak so it got named Dirtybeak. I have got to name them just to keep up with who has been there especially if they spend any time there .
E6... by this time is back in the nest tree just waiting things out. PB leaves , Dirtybeak is in the church tree. E6 takes a flight over to the  R-pond tree again where the crows decided to bother E6. Having enough of the crows,E6 flies down to the pond, the side closest to the driveway and don't you just know it , the crows follow him.

" I'm super E6 ,Take that Mr Crow !" LOL  Any way E6 walks from there to get away from the crows to a spot where there are some palm trees a some tall grass closer to the office . Well now E6 gets it's first up close look at a vehicle. That scared him a bit . He stopped dead in his tracks and just watched it go by real slow. Well I guess the person in the car saw E6 too because when she got  parked she got out and went up looking for E6 and flushed E6 from where he was at . E6 took off towards the south bank of the pond by a palm tree.

E 6 see's the car

 

E6 see's the woman

E6 takes flight

And YOU ARE TO CLOSE !!

E 6

Now I'm making a statement here... That If  " We"  are to stay away from E6 while on the ground, on the driveway side , so are the office workers ! This here was totally uncalled for.  There was NO reason for her to get out of her car and go up looking for E6. She was way too close!!! Ok now I had my rant..... on with E6's morning. E6 walked around a bit then flew over to the church tree where DirtyBeak was still sitting . E6 landed one branch down and was just vocalizing away .E6 flew from there back into the pasture with a crow hot on it's tail....LOL

                                             

                                                                                                                                  

E6 circled around and flew to the snag tree . There He played with a dried vine and was picking at the bark on the limb he was standing on. From there he flew over to the next snag tree.

 E6 stayed there for a bit then took off and flew right over us. What a awesome sight! E6 went back to the nest tree.

While in the nest tree another Juvie flies in the area. Flew around the tree and picked off a small stick had it in it's beak and flew up to the upper branch where harriet likes to sit. An offering for E6 ?? I don't know. lol  E6 as he has before let this visitor know it was not welcome and even moved out on the to porch to see it better and to make sure the other saw him. Now I didn't name this one. Donna gave it the name WhiteCap for the white on it's speckled head. LOL we sure are coming up with the names.                                                                                                                                                      

  Well this one finally leaves and E6 can relax for a bit. Well E6 thinks it's time to give me and the others a heart attack and take a short flight over the road to the pond area , fly around and come back!!! You should've heard me telling him..NOT THERE , NOT THERE  YOU COME BACK HERE !!!!  Like E6 was really going to turn around and come back when I told him to  right?!
Geez Louise !
Any way after E6's short trip, he lands on the old cam 2 tree like "TA-DAHHH" see it was nothing. Then back into the nest tree. We all look towards the river side and here comes Harriet making a beeline into the pasture and down to the pond. Wow ! I looked back to see if anything was following her but nope . it took E6 a couple of mins then He too headed to the pond.                                        

We couldn't see anything but did watch on Vickies phone how Harriet and E6 were having some alone time just the two of them. We understand that Harriet got a few drinks and that E6 did too. He also got his bottom wet.. not a full sure enough bath tho. Harriet leaves and goes to the OCT Ahhh what a great sight to see again.  E6 continued to play down at the pond while Harriet preened a bit and watched E6. It was like us watching our kids at the waterline to make sure they don't get hurt. E6 got done playing and headed back to the R-pond tree. I was sooo hoping he would land next to Mom. Not to long after that PB flew in and landed higher up on the OCT. I teared up a bit. It was almost like seeing Ozzie there again. I know it's not but It will be soon enough.                                               

Harriet vocalizing and PB vocalizing back. They sit there for about 10 mins then with a squeal Harriet  leaves towards the east and is flying around then PB takes off in the same direction. We can see them flying around ,up higher then over towards the river. Not sure what Harriet saw but we did see a bunch of Vultures fly up when Harriet and PB  went their way..LOL  I left not to long after that.  

 When I got to the nest this morning, the only one I could see in the nest tree was E6 and He was vocalizing. Nothing serious but calling out to Mom, then I heard Harriet. She was in one of the front pines. I didn't see any "intruders". As harriet was doing her morning vocals , I thought I heard the lower sounds of the Male that has been constantly around.  At 6:50 am Harriet flies towards the river. E6 is still vocalizing. Then at 7:02 am The Male PB  (now short for Publix) flew from the front tree to the snag closest  to me. Did his morning vocals. I'm begin  to think that PB thinks he has found him a home even tho Harriet let's him know she doesn't want him..Silly little guy just doesn't know yet that Ozzie will be home. My human thought is that Harriet is "using " him for a baby sitter and so far a protector of the area. Which by the way , he has done a great job so far. Yesterday he ran of DirtyBird. Today he ran off another one.
So harriet is gone then PB sticks around for a bit. E6 takes a flight to the R-pond tree this morning. PB heads out to Bob's looking for Harriet I guess.  E6 is busying playing on the pond tree. It looks like he is trying to brake off a branch but can't do it...LOL

 E6 then takes off from the R-pond tree and I thought he was going to head over to Bob's the way he was headed but instead he took a little fly around the pond . I got a bit excited because it looked like at one point E6 was going to land near the pond bank but darn he didn't just kept flying around the palm trees then back to the R-pond tree.

E6 hung out there for awhile until Harriet comes across the road with a HUGE  fish . WTG Mom ! She was vocalizing the whole way and PB was behind her and He landed on the attic. Branch . Both were vocalizing, E6 was vocalizing and mantling the fish.

Harriet and her HUGE fish 

PB coming in behind Harriet

Now this is where things get a little mixed up for me because I'm looking thru my lens watching Harriet and PB to see what was going to happen with all the vocals going on. I did not see the other Sub- Adult Eagle come in until it swooped the nest and PB came down from the attic branch. Harriet was still on the nest with E6 . In the picture you will see PB on the left , E6 and the top of Harriet's head behind E6 then the other Sub- Adult to the right .

PB -Left , E6 and Harriet behind E6, Sub-adult right( photo not cropped but enlarged so you can see.)

Now some where in all this I think Harriet went after PB not realizing He was going after the sub-adult. because when I realized we had another Eagle there I had to stop taking photos to look and see where the other one was and who left the nest to go after it. This sub-adult made a few passe's at the nest and PB was ready for it and so was Harriet . This sub -adult wanted that fish in a bad way. This next photo you will see PB Above Harriet in between the branches ,Harriet behind E6 all of them vocalizing and the Sub-Adult on the left by the branching branch.                                                                                                 

       
The next few photo's will show not all that good but  Harriet going after the sub-adult and getting it out of the nest and E6 doing what he should be doing, his back turned and guarding the fish.  

    The Sub-adult was very persistent in trying to get the fish.   PB went after it several times and chased it out of the area twice. The last time it stayed gone. Photo's of the Sub-adult .                  

So now that PB was off making sure the sub-adult stayed away , E6 started eating the fish Harriet brought in. Harriet had hopped up to the attic branch by now and was watching. E6 being E6 was taking his time on eating the fish so Harriet dropped down into the nest to help things along .Well we all know how that  went. Tug-of-war with the fish and Harriet winning ...LOL  

After harriet and E6 finish off the fish, Harrit takes off for awhile and then PB shows up from making sure the sub-adult is gone. E6 lays down and takes him self a nap and PB goes to the  old cam 2 tree. I left not to long after that .                                                                                              

I'm very fascinated by all of this. How Harriet is doing, how well E6 is learning and how this Adult Male just seems to ignore Harriet  telling it to go away and he still stays and helps protect the nest, Harriet and E6.  He is trying so hard to win Harriet over and it' s just not working for her.  Am I getting a little soft spot for him ? I think I am but that does not mean I want him to stay! I kind of think of it in our Human emotions as..... this poor guy is getting used ..LOL    But he is keeping Harriet and E6 safe until Ozzie makes it back , then so be it.   I just hope when Ozzie does come back  that none of them get physically hurt. I know Harriet isn't looking for a mate but this Male sure is smitten with our Beautiful Harriet.  And how about our E6 ?? Wow has he done a great job too of defending the nest! E6 even went down to the pond yesterday and played around . He took off from the ground like a pro. I didn't get to see it in person tho but was watching him on the cam. I feel real good about E6 when He leaves us. I think he has had some very important lessons that will keep him safe while growing up to be a Magnificent  Bald Eagle. I'm so blessed that I have had the opportunity to see this close up and personal . Some thing I would have never gotten to see if it anywhere else and understand some  of what is going on.                                                                                   

   
 
     












       
     

     

My day starts early for this post .3:39 am I have the cam on and don't see E6 in the nest. Awww big Fledgeling now. He is sleeping up on one of the branches with Harriet I'll bet. I hear E6 squeeing and then Harriet . Harriet vocals a few time then stops. E6 keeps squeeing .3:44 am more vocals from Harriet . E6 again. Of course I can not see on cam 2 right now. I understand the "intruder" ( which one I don't know ) was back again last night from reading HWF ( Hancock Wildlife Forum ) and Facebook. 3:49 am all is quiet for now.  Hmmm I wonder if the "intruder" is in the nest tree with them. I have to say , I  really don't like calling them "intruders" because they haven't caused Harriet  and E6 any harm. Intruders makes it sound oh so bad I guess you can say.   How ever I do realize that is the proper name to give them.  Any other Eagle or bird or mammal or us Humans as far as that goes that could  harm  them or intrudes in their nesting area and territory .  I have  heard Harriet sound of when Turkey Vultures fly past or Blue Herons. It doesn't have to be another Eagle. They just happen to fly too close for Harriet's comfort I guess.
So today before I go to the nest I wanted to tell you all what I have been.. In my opinion blessed to witness these past few day's. This is something that plays out everyday in the Eagle world that we never , ever get to see and if we did I'm sure we wouldn't have a clue of what was going on.
So with knowing the events that leads up to this, has made it easier to understand.
We have a very successful nest that has one mate missing for the time being.  Harriet has been vocalizing and I'm wondering if in those vocals... do the all the other  Eagles hear let's say for understanding..." Ozzie where the hell are you  and get home now ?"  What in the sound Harriet emits that they the Eagles understand that Ozzie is not there ? Or it is because now Harriet is searching their territory more than before looking for Ozzie that they see this and there is this understand,this knowledge from Her movements that they just know? Or is it also from the fact that it has only been Harriet chasing the unwelcomed away at first?  And Yes 2 of the males have been chasing the unwelcomed visitors from the nest area. Minnie Ozzie did until he left  and Publix did yesterday.  I don't think it's "disbursement "   time yet. Our season is from Oct 1 - until late April early May. We know Harriet is not looking for a new mate and Ozzie will be back before that time even arrives that she would go looking for another mate. Questions, questions.  So this has been a great learning time for me .Do I understand all of it? Not yet and may never understand, but I am  trying.
I do want to also say .. That Harriet is doing a GREAT job taking care of her and E6. She is doing what she has to do. She knows when she can bring in food and when she should wait. We have to remember, she knows and see's thing we do not. E6 is getting some very valuable life lessons in all of this. Food isn't always there when you squee. Protect your nest. And there are others out there that will try and take your food and hurt you.  So far NONE of the other Eagles have made any kind of attempt  to harm E6 in any way. As a matter of fact I found it very interesting that E6 "seemed " relaxed around the "other" . Harriet to a certain extent , she is ever watchful and does get annoyed with them after a period of time then will "flush " off  of whatever perch they are on and out of  the nesting area.
We have to remember .. Eagles will avoid serious confrontation at all cost.   It was told to me that an Eagle will bleed to death when cut. This.. I still can't find anything on it but I'm still looking.

I arrived at nest around 6:00 am. I tried to get some what I call "lets see who is here " photo's before it started to rain.  I  only got two before it started raining and all I could see was Harriet and E6 . I was not able to get any more. When Vickie showed up it had stopped raining and she saw the other one way up to the right of the nest tree. We didn't see Harriet leave the nest tree. Then a few minutes later I caught the sight of Harriet flying to the front pine tree so I thought . The "DirtyBird" as now it will be called, left the nest tree and went to the front trees , I think...lol "DirtyBird then flew back into the nest tree  and all of a sudden I hear Harriet coming from across the road after the DirtyBird and chased it out of the nest tree. I need more eyes for all this .LOL  The DirtyBird flew to the right pond tree. After about 10 mins E 6 flew to the left pond tree and mantled showing DirtyBird a thing or two and vocalizing .

  I'm very impressed with E6 . He/she sure is learning how to defend it's nest and nesting area  very well.  DirtyBird is just looking at E6 like  Really?!

3 yr old I call DirtyBird. This was the overnight unwelcomed guest last night.

After the two size each other up , Harriet takes off and is just vocalizing like she is going after the DirtyBird but in stead she flies past him and keeps going then the DirtyBird take off after Harriet but doesn't follow her to far as turns around and flies E 6 and almost knocks him of his branch. OMG , I just about had a heart attack.  DirtyBird then heads for the nest tree. E6 kept his balance and once he got straighten out he went to the nest tree and mantled when he landed on the attic branch. Again showing the other bird that he is fierce and my nest,my tree. Just amazing to watch!

Now I'm a little fuzzy on what happens next. I  think I took a little nap...LOL Just kidding. E6 did a fly about then landed on the R pond tree. E6 landings as I said before are awesome. E6 has done much better than our E4 did. I think E4 could have stayed with us a little longer. At least I wanted E4 to stay.:)    

                                                                                                                                             

   

TA-DAH !!!!

E6 went from the R pond tree and flushed out the Blue Heron that was sitting on the old cam 2 tree. LOL E6 sure was doing his lessons this morning while Mom was gone.

The Blue Heron see's E6 coming .

        

E6 played around on the OCT tree for a bit then took another flight back to the nest. All this time the DirtyBird has been gone so e6 had time to play. Then there was another fly about and this time  E6 landed on the snag tree closest to the big green tree . Now it's E6's glamor photoshoot ! I took so many photo's of our Beautiful E6 I'm going to have a hard time choosing just a few for here.                        

Isn't He/She a Beauty ?!!! 

   

   Done with E6's first photoshoot , E6 does some more flying around the nest area and lands on the R-pond tree again. The DirtyBird is back again and headed for the nest tree again and lands in the nest. Oh don't you just know E6 is NOT happy about this at all and takes off towards the nest tree. E6 flushes the DirtyBird out of "HIS" nest ! WTG E 6 !!! I just had to shout out  WOOHOO ! when  E6 did that . I'm still smiling . I have the photo's as an album on my photo page on Facebook. I can put the link here but you will have to copy and paste to view it. For some reason it won't show up like it should.

Ok now where was I ??? Oh yes ok ....lol So E6 runs the DirtyBird off the nest and in come another 3 yr old and chases D/B out of the nest area and as they are headed east past the church , D/B  gets behind the other one and  is chasing it off... What a morning! This is the other 3 yr old.

 So with that done , E6 decides it time to rest in the nest for a bit and for us to collect our thoughts and relax a bit too. So for about an 1/2 hr I think we all get to rest before E6 is up and flying again. This time E6 lands on the snag tree closest to us on the Church side . This also brings out the crows with bother E6 for a bit. E6 stays there for about 20 mins then flies over to the old cam 2 tree. From the old cam  2 tree E6 takes a trip over to the church tree. Stays there for a bit   Then here comes Publix the adult male that was here yesterday and the day before.  Come to find out , He was sitting with Harriet on one of the high poles over at Bob's house . Not on the same pole but the next one over . I thought maybe I should clarify that ..LOL... Bob said Harriet kept vocalizing and he wouldn't leave.  Well I guess he gave up and came to the R-pond tree . Well this didn't sit to well with E6 and off he goes to the R-pond tree too. Look at how close E6 flew in front of the Adult .

Brave E6 ! Well Needless to say  Publix was not to happy about that and flew down close to E6. You could hear all the "OMG's and get away from him" . Nothing happened but scared the you know what out of Carla, Vicki , me  and E6 too.  Publix moved from the branch you see to the upper part of the one E6 is on.

I think this kind of spooked E6 and he flew back to the nest tree. Publix stayed in the R-pond tree and I had enough excitement for one day and I came home..
I am just amazed at all that is going on and the lessons E6 is learning and how fast .

Well it's time to write again. I wanted to keep this off my Photography Page. https://www.facebook.com/deeagle55

Since Ozzie has been at CROW=https://www.facebook.com/CROWClinic forhis injury we have seen a lot of other Bald Eagles in and around the nest area. It started the evening of the 21 March. Two visitors landed in the nest tree just before dark.  March 22 then I got there very early in the morning all I could see was Harriet, E6 and a Sub-adult. The possible Fledgling (mods are saying because of they way it  landed in the tree ) was not there. No one knows for sure when it left but there was some vocals around 11-11:30 pm that night. So ok now It get's light enough to where I can get  a good look at the Sub-adult. This Sub-adult has a lot of black still in it's tail and around the back of it's head. The vocals from this one was just like listening to Ozzie . It shocked me there for a few minutes. Well this young seemed to be out to impress Harriet, which she wasn't having any of it especially after he spent the night in the nest tree with out even asking.And she still is looking for her Ozzie and taking care of E6.
Sub-adult , now nicknamed "Airplant"(just so we can keep up with who's who) Goes about trying to catch Harriet's eye. He goes to the snag closest to us and starts showing off. This whole time Harriet is vocalizing her displeasure with him. Next he flies to the right pond tree where the crows start dive bombing him. He then flies to the left pond tree and there too the crow's go after him.From there he goes over to the left front pine and gets an Air Plant flies to the old cam 2 tree .

From the old cam 2 tree "Air Plant" goes back to the right pond tree and is taking the air-plant a part.

Then he flies back to the nest tree to give the "gift " to Harriet and she is not having it .

He does try landing on the attic branch but is quickly told Harriet she doesn't want it and he headed over to the new cam 2 tree. There he finishes taking the air plant apart.

From there He tries to enter the nest tree again.this is when Harriet flies at him .

and he leaves headed to the old cam 2 tree and Harriet Is right behind him, " Air Plant" lands briefly because Harriet is coming at him. He flies back to the right pond tree.  Harriet on the old cam tree vocalizing at "Air Plant to leave and he's just not getting it. The crows bother Air Plant so he moves to the left pond tree by the driveway. 

By this time Harriet just has that look of " I have had it" Still vocalizing off and on and the crows still bothering  Air Plant, he decides to fly back to the nest tree again. Well now Harriet just had enough and off she goes after him.

All this time E6 is watching and learning. He /She will have to possibly do this one day also. Of course the was the occasional hissy fit thrown in there too. LOL
Air Plant is finally gone from the area .

Ok now this ends my time at the nest for that day. There is more but I would like to move on to the next day because I can't report on what I didn't see :)
March 23
Well the morning started off with just E6 and Harriet .  E 6 was all over the nest tree this morning. It just gave me the feeling he was about to do something but just not quite sure what . Maybe a new branch maybe fledge I just didn't know. So very move he made I'm taking pics. harriet had left the area earlier . So we're standing there watching E6 just flapping all over the nest tree. He was up on the spick branch which we can't really tell from our advantage point. He's up there just got those wings a moving ,then you can see E6 going up,up, up then off he went from the nest tree. What a beautiful, well executed fledge. Out he goes towards the front pine trees and of course I'm saying ,not towards the road ... E6 turns  to his right and heads towards the pine tree  by the driveway and lands . Perfect landing ! Of course he had 2 crows chasing him so he made it a short flight.... E6 stayed there for a bit then a short flight back to the nest and a perfect 10 points landing on the attic branch.Harrie had to be watching, She Arrived 1 min later with a Celebratory Fish For E 6..
To savetime here is a link to the Fledge Album https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.337083213151339.1073741861.254203074772687&type=3  
Soooo ok we are all sitting back waiting to see if E6 takes off again the it a bit crazy. I best I can tell you is that there were 4 Adult Eagles flying around , 1 sub-adult=(Air Plant was back) and 1 Juvie( about 3-31/2 yr old) One of the Adult's  we now have nicknamed him "Minnie Ozzie " Why you ask? Because he is smaller than Ozzie and sounds just like him. We all just looked at each other and shook our heads. This one ran off Air Plant , then Air plant ran off an Adult . Harriet kept one away then "Minnie Ozzie " ran off an  Adult female that flew past the snag tree he was on. Holy Smokes !! We had a hard time keeping up with who was who and where did they go.

Minnie Ozzie on the snag tree before he ran the female intruder off.

This is the one we call "Minnie Ozzie " He's a very small fellow & sounds like Ozzie

So now we have Minnie Ozzie that has taken over the "male" in the nest area for now. Trust me, Harriet is not a happy camper at all. This little guy had the nerve to go to the nest with E6 still eating his fish and vocalize at E6 . Yes just what I said too..lol See I know what you're saying right now"OH NO HE DIDN'T" !!!

Look  at E6 ..lol
 Harriet was in the nest tree this whole time and she was like "Oh no you don't" and ran Minnie  Ozzie off the nest .

Ok so now it's time for me to go . Again there is more and you all should know how the rest of the day goes. Yes I understand you know all of what I wrote but there's a reason I stared back this far.  Now we are catching up ..LOL

So now it's March 24 th and Hope it's a new day with out Minnie Ozzie or anyone else. So far so good then all of a sudden here come Minnie Ozzie from the front pine tree... Oh Boy! You have to give him credit, he sure is trying to win Harriet over but it's just not working for her . She is Ozzie's woman that's all there is to it . She is doing what she needs to do ,to keep E 6 safe and her home while Ozzie is healing up. Any way Harriet soon makes short work of Minnie Ozzie and we all can breath again and sit back and watch E6 for awhile. Around 10:20 -10:25 am Harriet is back in the nest tree and her and E 6 spend some quality time preening and just hanging out.

About 10:38 am that's the time I have on my first photo of the next male that comes into the nest area.

Are you still keeping up?? I hope so because I'm running out of energy trying to keep this all straight and I'm sure i have forgotten some details. So now this fellow is in the left pond tree with the Ricky & Lucy  Ricardo. Yes we named the crows too. You should hear the story lines we have going for all this. What I am writing here is just a small part of it. So any way this fellow isn't welcomed at all not by them nor by Harriet .  This day not much is happening. Harriet is off some where and E6 and new male are just sitting around. So I left .. but of course every thing happens when I'm gone...lol  

So on to March 25 th Another foggy morning. If  I have everything right the new male was run off the night before . So the morning was nice and quiet.Harriet left and E6 decides to take a flight to the right pond tree. What a great landing he did. The crows are not happy with E6 being there and this is something new for E6.                                                                                                                                    

While E6 was on the pond tree and Harriet has been gone for awhile so when a Eagle flies into the nest tree,by some he was thought to be Harriet because he is bigger than Minnie Ozzie . Some thing wasn't sitting right with me and Carla so I got a few more pics and Carla checked hers. We both said "it's not Harriet " So we had to tell Vickie it wasn't Harriet so she could change her report. Well more ID ing had to be made.While getting the photo's from the driveway side the Eagle vocalized . We knew for sure then and pulse the photo's we had gotten it wasn't Harriet .                                                    

Sooo now we have another one to keep track of ! Harriet comes home and runs this one off again towards Publix. By now our heads a really working the storyline of this and we came up with another name for this one . are you ready for it??? You sure you want to know??? Well I named this one ....... Publix .. Yep you read that right, Publix. Well after all that's where he goes when Harriet runs him off...LOL
Ok so now we are at March 26th today .
I'm there my usual time in the morning. Harriet and E6 are all by themselves after a very busy evening from what I saw on the cam.  I'm standing there and out of the corner of my eye I see a Eagle fly past me from behind on my left side. Here comes Publix. I have no idea where he was sitting at this morning. Harriet just starts sounding off. Oh Lord here we go again. He went to snag tree then the old cam 2 tree.Harriet was not in the mood for this . She chased him ,he went to the right  pond tree and Harriet right behind him and cased him from there . Publix  went to the left pond tree and Harriet stayed in the right pond tree. Something caught Harriet's attention she flew down past the pond and headed towards the north. Publix was still in the left pond tree.  E6  then went to the right pond tree and mantles. E 6 saw Harriet coming in with a fish from the nest and was there waiting for her but she took the fish to the nest. It didn't take E6 long to get to the nest and claim his breakfish. Yay food for E6 this morning.

I'm coming Mom !!!!!!!

Mine , all Mine !!!!                  

Harriet stayed in the nest with E6 while he ate some of his fish. Harriet leaves headed north west. Publix  flies in and heads up to the upper branch . Vocalizes then leaves . E6 is done with his fish and is full of energy and flies up to the branch above the attic .

Then E6 takes off for the right pond tree. I'm not sure if he was trying to break off a stick , but it was a little touch and then go again. E6 headed over to the Church tree for the first time.

While E6 was at the Church tree in comes another Eagle. This time it's a female. Oh boy .

Ok so now we have a female we have to name . We so get to  looking at the photo's we have taken and the easiest name was Split Tail because her tail looks split it,it's just missing a tail feather . Now I know you have heard another name by now from reading the HWF but this is my story . lol 

Split tail vocalizes and not to long after that E6 comes flying to the nest tree from the church tree.He lands on the attic branch and mantles. Some how I missed Split tail leaving but caught another Eagle flying in and head out towards the river I'm guessing that's the way she went . 

E6 headed  to the nest 

I think the reason the female was because of the other Eagle which form looking at my photo's was Publix.  We had a few flying around but couldn't ID  them real well . 

 So the reason I started way back was to try and let you know what it has been like on the ground the past few days. The easiest way to keep track of who's who was to give them names. well at least for me any way. So we have ... Minnie Ozzie- adult male, Air Plant sub-adult about 4-41/2, Publix -adult male, Split tail -adult female that all have stopped at the nest tree or stayed for at least a day ,day and a half. Who knows what tonight or tomorrow will bring .Stay tune to find out in... As The World Turns in the Life of Ozzie and Harriet & E6
