I arrive at the nest around 5:45 am . Sit waiting on Harriet . She was very quiet again this morning. I'm still not use to her being this non-vocal in the mornings.  I'm sure this will all change once Ozzie gets home for several reasons. One because Ozzie is home and second because I'm sure PB will still be hanging around for a bit. I hope  PB moves on quickly so there isn't too much confrontation . And what I mean by confrontation is just the chasing of PB out of the area. I'm not saying it will always be physical. It just might be a matter of flying after him to get PB to leave.
Harriet is the first in the nest this morning. Checking the nest ,a little aerating and just sitting and looking around. PB must have been sleeping in this morning.. He flies to the attic branch then down into the nest with Harriet . Both checking their handy work from yesterday to see what will be needed for today if anything. A quick assessment by both and PB goes to the porch branch then off to the west pasture looking for a rail to bring in. He sure does like that area. PB finds a nice sized rail and back to the nest he goes. PB get's his branch placed and does some aerating again then off to the west pasture treeline. PB lands in dead pine.  It looks like he is checking his talons from where I am . I have not gone over to the driveway side to get better photo's. I guess I need to start doing this since it doesn't seem to be " against the rules any more" that someone was trying to enforce with all of the visitors and other photographers this whole season. SMH
Any way, PB leaves the tree and heads down towards the ground and is flying low. Now this is where I lost him. I know he is still over there somewhere ,I just can't see him. Harriet is still in the nest watching PB . Glad someone has an eye on him...lol At 6:46 am from the west pasture treeline,  PB heads off towards the Publix pond and banks left with the crows following him. I guess hes headed to the Norfolk pines that I can not see from the Church side. Harriet still in the nest watching PB as he leaves and which direction he went. 6:48 am Harriet leaves  also in the same direction as PB with 2 crows following her. Harriet has this very loud high pitched vocal she does when those crows are right on her tail. You can tell that they must have pecked at her tail when she does this. Boy not a happy camper at all.  So I'm guessing by the way someone packed up and left in a hurry and headed over to the quiet neighbourhood, that PB & Harriet must be there..... Again I must SMH .........
So this will be the way of things from here on out. Early morning nestorations and gone . Some days they may leave right away others they may stay for a few hrs as it has already been noted.So photo's will be few and far between unless they bring in something big or different than usual. Or if they go to a pond tree or the pond on the property . This is how my days went last summer watching Ozzie and Harriet. Now I do have to wonder out loud , with Ozzie coming back from a long "disappearance" .. what will the mornings be like, the afternoons and the evenings??? Will it be like he was never gone or will they be like a couple of Lovestruck kids getting to know each other again?  Here is a great story.http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2011/07/19/138478525/eagle-love-story-injured-mates-reunited-at-rehab-center
So I ..like so many of you ,can't wait for the day Ozzie comes home to see it all unfold. A New Begin......a New Chapter in the lives of Ozzie & Harriet .
