As the morning breaks , I still haven't heard vocals from Harriet . Nothing from E6 so right now I know he isn't here. E6 left when he was 127/128 days old. The last time I saw him , he was soaring way up headed SE then to the NE  at 10:45 am. iwrite 127/128 because the time of day he left  he was still 127 days old. Remember E6 was hatched after 1:00pm . As I write this it hasn't even been 2 days yet that E6 left us. We might get lucky and He'll come back for a bit like NEFL's  Nick did but then again, we did have that the other day when he was gone for 26 hrs and came back.

Around 6:14 am Both Harriet and PB are in the nest.Harriet aerating the nest and PB looking for nesovers. PB dose a small bit of aerating , more like an imitation of Harriet..lol Harriet goes to the porch branch then she tries to get some moss and ends up with the whole branch which she did not expect and down she goes to the ground. She tried to recover but stays on the ground. While on the ground she is trying to get the moss off the branch and is not very successful. Harriet finally gives up and collects some grass from the ground.Harriet flies back to the nest and to me from my vantage point , it looked like PB went for Harriets feet looking for food. LOL No food this time PB. After a little bit of beak bonking , Harriet is trying to place,move what she brought in. Kind of looked like PB was too there for a few mins. Harriet then goes to the right pond tree where the crows meet  her and are relentless. Four of them dive bombing her .Harriet  leaves from there and heads to the west pasture tree. PB is on the ground now looking for what Harriet had taken to the ground in hopes maybe it was food. Realizing it was just moss and a branch, PB then heads over to the same tree Harriet went to. I'm still on the church side so it's very hard to find them when they get in that tree. A lot of moss hanging and of course the pine needles make it very hard for me to find them.  Harriet vocalizes and I wonder if she is calling E6 . I wait for answer but done from E6. Harriet stays in the west tree for about 15-20 mins then off to the Norfolk pine SE of where we sit. PB headed that way also before Harriet  but from what I saw, PB keeps going. Maybe he landed in another tree and I just couldn't see him. Harriet sits there for awhile then leaves. I stayed a bit longer then left too. I checked the yonder pond before going home. No Eagles there just a man fishing.



This is a video of Harriet on the ground trying to get the moss off the branch.

This next one is Harriet and PB in the nest ,then PB checking out the branch Harriet left on the ground. Again PLEASE TURN DOWN THE SOUND!!!
